An idea, but also a temptation. For now, nothing more. According to reports by Sky Sport's Francesco Modugno, the Italian national team is top of mind for Napoli midfielder Allan who, notwithstanding his great performances for De Laurentiis's club, continues to be left out of the Seleçao. Born in Rio de Jainero and in possession of a Portuguese passport -- therefore, a community one -- the former Udinese player could also wear the azzurri shirt.
His last experience in the Brazilian shirt was for the Under 20 team. Allan is uncertain about his final decision, but an adventure in the Italian squad, which has been his home for the past five years, has begun to tempt him. Mancini is thinking about it, as Napoli and the FIGC have begun speaking. Who knows if, perhaps at the end of all this, Allan will be the "emergency midfield" solution for the Azzurri.
