Agent Raffaele Auriemma remains confident that Udinese midfielder Allan will complete his long protracted move to Napoli.

Negotiations over the Brazilian have dragged on for sometime, but as yet, no agreement has been found.

Reports suggest that a €12 million fee, plus the loan of defender Miguel Britos and Colombian Duván Zapata, has almost been settled upon, though whether the transfer will be pushed through in the coming days remains unclear. 

Speaking to Radio CRC, Auriemma confirmed that talks are ongoing and has hinted that despite the obstacles that are in place, a deal may not be far off.

"[Sporting Director Cristiano] Giuntoli is doing everything to bring him [Allan] to Napoli," he said, as reported by website Football Italia.

"It’s a complicated operation, but I think it will be successful, I’m confident. We’ve been working on it for two months, Allan is a top player and I think eventually Giuntoli will be able to take him to the Azzurri.

"We’re at a crucial moment, we’ve completed 99 per cent of the operation. As for Zapata’s future, that’s a problem for Udinese.

"Allan doesn’t need me to sell Napoli to him, the city and the team are already famous. Napoli is a major club, and the players already know that."

Allan was signed by Udinese from Granada in July 2014 for a reported fee of €3 million. He had previously been on loan from July 2012 until June 2014, with Granada and Udinese both owned by the Pozzo family.

During his time with the latter, the 24 year-old has made 104 appearances, scoring two goals, and has grown into one of Serie A’s most respected midfielders.
