Liverpool midfielder Allan is set to continue his stint with Brazilian club Fluminense according to Globo Esporte.

Apparently an agreement has been reached between the two clubs for the 22-year-old to remain with the Rio de Janeiro-based side.

Allan was signed in 2015 from Internacional and has endured something of a frustrating time at Anfield.

The Brazil U20 international has been unable to obtain a work permit since moving to England, and has already had six loan moves.

Allan will now spend the next six months in his homeland in Brazil, where he has been since February.

The Brazilian league finishes in December, and the idea is for Allan to try and get regular football until the end of the season.

TBR’s view

Allan will surely be frustrated about the work permit issue, but it will be down to him to play out of his skin for Fluminense to show he deserves one.

He has slowly started to get more game time for the club and will be hoping to show his potential in the next six months.

The box-to-box ace was hailed as ‘an outstanding talent’ by Jurgen Klopp in 2016 (The Liverpool Echo).

The promise is there, but he really does have his work cut out since the regulations to obtain a work permit were tightened around the time of him signing for Liverpool.
