According to ESPN, Palmeiras has rejected an initial offer from Manchester City for attacking midfielder Alan. Manchester City remains highly interested in the player and is preparing to increase their offer, including performance-related add-ons in an attempt to persuade Palmeiras to reconsider their position.

ESPN understands that Manchester City has not yet submitted a formal offer but has communicated the proposed amount to Palmeiras, which was rejected. Palmeiras has consistently made clear internally that the club has no intention of selling academy graduates and will maintain the strongest negotiating position possible, with only an exceptionally high offer likely to change their mind.

ESPN previously reported that Alan's release clause stands at €100 million. Further reporting reveals that Manchester City remains very interested in Alan and is preparing a new offer with a higher monetary value, along with performance-related add-ons, hoping to convince Palmeiras management, led by Leila Pereira, to change their stance. Multiple sources indicate that Alan is a key player for the team, and Palmeiras has no intention of negotiating with other clubs for less than €40 million. However, City Football Group hopes to sign Alan now, and both parties are expected to be in contact again within the next few hours.

It is worth noting that on Friday, Manchester City reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for the sale of forward Savinho. ESPN previously reported that Manchester City's management views Alan as a suitable replacement for Savinho. The 22-year-old Alan is one of the players Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira trusts. He can play as a right-back or in an attacking role. In 2024, Alan appeared in 41 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists.

In recent months, clubs such as Napoli, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa have also shown interest in the attacking midfielder, but none have progressed to negotiations. Additionally, according to ESPN, Palmeiras plans to boost the club's cash revenue next week through several transactions.

Sources emphasize that Palmeiras is working to facilitate the departure of some loaned players and squad members with limited playing time in order to increase revenue during the mid-season period. The club's goal is to improve cash flow and move closer to the player sales revenue target set for 2024, without having to sell key players from the team.
