Everton are reportedly edging closer to Napoli midfielder, Allan by offering €38m, allowing him to reunite with Carlo Ancelotti.
The Brazilian had been given a price-tag of €50m last year, but that has since dropped to approximately €40-45m.
According to Il Mattino newspaper, the latest proposal coming in from the Toffees is worth €38m and the rest could be bridged with bonuses.
Allan would be given a significant pay rise to €4.7m per season in the Premier League.
He had his heart set on Paris Saint-Germain a couple of years ago, but President Aurelio De Laurentiis would not let him leave.
