Carlo Ancelotti insisted Allan will not be moving to Paris Saint-Germain, declaring "the matter over" after the midfielder missed Napoli's draw at AC Milan.
Allan was dropped for Saturday's 0-0 Serie A stalemate in Milan amid uncertainty over his future, with French champions PSG reportedly finalising a transfer in excess of €100million.
Ancelotti, however, reiterated his stance regarding Allan, saying the 28-year-old will face Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Tuesday.

"As far as I am concerned, the matter is over, Allan will remain our player and we never intended to sell if not for something extraordinary," head coach Ancelotti told Sky Sport Italia .
"The player has been contacted, even though that shouldn't happen, and we listened to his requests, after which nothing happened.
"He will stay with us and play on Tuesday."
Allan – who arrived from Udinese in 2015 – has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Napoli this season, 18 of those in Serie A.
