Aston Villa are making a £13m bid for the Brazilian defender with no asking price
Aston Villa are back in the market for reinforcements after signing Joao Gomes, Johan Manzambi and Alejandro Garnacho. The Villans still have money to spend and intend to do so in their pursuit of Allan Elias.
The young Brazilian is in demand in European football and it’s not hard to see why. At Palmeiras, the 22-year-old has shown plenty of promise, with a 10-goal involvement in the 2026 campaign.
With Leon Bailey on his way to Hull City, another winner wouldn’t go amiss in the Midlands, especially if it’s one as incredibly talented as Allan.

Possible attacking options for Aston Villa 26/27 |
|
|---|---|
|
Ollie Watkins |
While new faces arrive around him, Watkins seems ready to stay for now. Despite interest from elsewhere, the experienced striker remains a key player for Unai Emery and is coming off the back of a fine 21-goal campaign. |
|
Johan Manzambi |
An attacking midfielder, Manzambi is expected to replace Morgan Rogers after a good World Cup with Switzerland. Villa swooped in to hijack Newcastle United and sign their new star, who has been involved in five goals in four games for his country. |
|
Alejandro Garnacho |
Another new name, Garnacho is one to beat. His reputation and his fall from grace mean he can’t get a slow start in the Midlands. Whether he finds the form that saw him through to Manchester United remains to be seen. |
|
Emiliano Buendia |
It was good to see Buendia regain his form last season after a difficult time with injuries. With no Rogers to turn to, the former Norwich City man has the chance to rise higher than ever. |
|
Allan Elias |
Allan is far from being an Aston Villa player, but that shouldn’t stop the Midlands from thinking about the Brazilian’s future. He has an incredibly high ceiling with 10 goal involvements and three successful dribbles per game for Palmeiras this season. |
There is no doubt that Allan is one to watch, but Aston Villa could be in for long talks and Palmeiras’ first response is anything to go by.
Palmeiras respond to Allan Elias’ bid for Aston Villa
As reported by journalist Andre Hernan, as reported by Sport Witness, Aston Villa presented an offer to sign Allan from Palmeiras worth around €30m (£26m) before the Brazilian club immediately rejected it.
Now it’s back to the drawing board for the Midlands side, who have been told to up their bid to €45m (£39m) by Hernan if they want to change Palmeiras’ fortunes.
If Villa’s interest remains, they will have to leave quickly. Allan and Palmeiras have been ‘contacted’ across Europe about a move this summer, with other offers also coming in. Regardless of the club’s position, it cannot be denied that the South American gem is a wanted man.
