Napoli look set to complete the signing of Brazilian defensive midfielder Allan from fellow Serie A side Udinese early next week.
The former Vasco da Gama star, full name Allan Marques Loureiro, joined up with the Zebrette three years ago and has made a big impression in Udine since.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the 24-year-old is part of a complex transfer deal which could see Partenopei defender Miguel Britos move in the opposite direction initially, before being shipped off to another of the Pozzo family-owned clubs Watford in England.
Napoli will also pay a reported fee of €11 million, with the player expected to arrive for talks and medical tests on either Monday or Tuesday.
Allan has appeared 116 times for Udinese in all competitions to date, while scoring 2 goals.
