Dele Alli, who was once a great talent, is now in his worst moment, and his future in football is uncertain.
Dele Alli, one of the greatest English football talents of the last decade, is undoubtedly going through the most challenging phase of his career. At 29, the midfielder, who once shone for Tottenham under Mauricio Pochettino, is now at a critical point. His heyday in the 2017/18 season, when he scored 14 goals and provided 15 assists, seems like a distant memory. Since then, his form has declined, and his career has not been able to recover despite strenuous attempts.

After leaving Tottenham without achieving significant results, neither his loan move to Everton nor the subsequent move to Besiktas in Turkey gave him back the spark or consistency that once characterized him. In a bid to bring his career to life, the former Tottenham player was picked up by Como 1907, an Italian club that trusted Cesc Fàbregas. Fàbregas believed in Alli as part of his project with the team. But the hope of seeing Dele Alli return to his best form has not materialized.
Few games and no goals
During the last season, the footballer played only ten games and failed to score a single goal. Persistent muscle problems have hampered his performance and kept him off the pitch. Since March this year, he has not played for Como, and the situation has only gotten worse. Alli’s decline and poor form are so marked that Cesc Fàbregas himself, who played a key role in bringing him to the club, chose to exclude him from training – a clear sign that things are not working.
Real Madrid were once interested in Dele Alli
Dele Alli’s career seems to have taken an unexpected turn. What was once one of England’s most promising footballers, even linked to giants like Real Madrid, is now surrounded by uncertainty. Many wonder if the midfielder, who is only 29 years old and struggles with both physical and sporting challenges, will choose to end his professional career earlier than expected.
Dele Alli’s future is unclear, and the decision he makes in the coming months could be the end of a career that started so promisingly, but is now struggling to find a new direction. Rai 1 reports that Dele Alli is seriously considering putting his boots on the shelf.
