Flamengo loan

Although, in October 2016 Alan alongside, Éverton, Marcelo Cirino, Pará and Paulinho got involved in trouble through the media due to excessive partying.[8] The group of players were called "Bonde da Stella", because Stella Artois was the brand of beer they used to drink in those parties. All five players were fined causing embarrassment with the club's directors, but only Paulinho left the club for the following season on loan to Santos. Despite this problem his loan deal was eventually extended for another year.[9]
