Club career Internacional Born in Araçatuba, São Paulo, Allan rose through the ranks as a youth product of Internacional. Goal Brazil’s deputy editor Rodrigo Calvozzo claimed Allan "was always treated by Internacional as one of the most important players in the team."
Liverpool In the summer of 2015, he joined English Premier League club Liverpool for a fee of £500,000 after impressing the club's coaches at the Frenz International Cup.
Loans On 2 September 2015, he was loaned to Finnish club Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (SJK) on a short term deal.

He finished the season with one goal in eight appearances, in the process helping the club win the Veikkausliiga title. On 29 October 2015, Allan returned from his loan spell to Liverpool, greeting the new manager of the club, Jürgen Klopp, for the first time.
On 18 January 2016, Liverpool announced that Allan had been loaned to Belgian club Sint-Truiden for the remainder of the season. He then returned to Liverpool in expectation of receiving a British work permit, which was not granted.
