The young midfielder had loan spells at SJK, Saint-Truiden, Hertha Berlin, Apollon Limassol and Eintracht Frankfurt before the latest move to Fluminense.

Allan became a Liverpool player in 2015 when he joined from Brazilian side Internacional.

He was not able to get into the Liverpool midfield upon his return from Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this season.

The Reds midfield has come under a lot of criticisms in recent games but it was back to its functional best in their last game against Bournemouth.

Liverpool kept up their title hopes in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth at home with the likes of Sadio Mane, Giorginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah getting on the scoresheet.
