Liverpool will loan out young Brazilian midfielder Allan Rodrigues de Souza again this summer.

The 19-year-old joined the Reds from Internacional last September, but does not yet qualify for a UK work permit.

Subsequently, he has spent this season out on loan, first in Finland with SJK and more recently with Sint-Truidense in Belgium, where his performances have caught the eye.

He has made nine appearances in the Jupiler Pro League, and Liverpool have been made aware of serious interest in Allan from clubs in France, Spain and Holland this summer.

Allan is currently away with Brazil U20s in South Korea for a warm-up tournament ahead of next year’s U20 World Cup. He featured in a 1-1 draw against the hosts on Wednesday, playing 80 minutes, and has upcoming games against Japan and France.

He is rated by Klopp, who spoke glowingly about the youngster earlier this year. Liverpool are keen for him to gather as much senior experience as possible as they look to navigate their way past the FA’s new work permit rules.

Under the rules, Allan would be required to have played at least 30% of Brazil’s national team matches during the past 12 months to automatically qualify for a permit.

He hasn’t, and so his case would need to be heard by an appeals panel, who operate via a points-based system, taking into account transfer fee, wages and the amount of minutes played by the player in a "Top League."

A "Top League" is defined as the six European leagues which provide the most players to the top 20 squads in the FIFA World Rankings and the two Central and South American leagues which provide the most players to the top 20 squads in the FIFA World Rankings.

With interest from three of those European leagues - as well as Mexico - Liverpool hope Allan will gain sufficient experience over the next 12 months to qualify for a permit for the 2017/18 season in England.

Speaking about the player back in March, Klopp said: “When I came here, one or two months later Allan was here and I said ‘who is this?’. ‘He is a player for us and the week before he became a champion in Finland.’ ‘Interesting - why didn’t he play here?’ ‘Because it’s not possible.’ And then I started learning about the FA rules and things like this.

“I saw him in training and I thought ‘oh my God, what can we do to keep this boy here and bring him into the line-up?’ He’s 19 years old, an outstanding talent, a good player with a good attitude, everybody loves him, he’s a nice lad – so that’s really, really good. He’s a smart player

“There is no chance in this moment here because he can’t get the permission to play here, so we have to send him out on loan.”
