After a complicated year and even with thoughts of retiring, Dele Alli is wanted by one team in the Premier League and another in the Championship.
Dele Alli is going through a pivotal moment in his career. After becoming clubless the English midfielder attracted interest from several clubs, but he has also experienced difficult months that even made him consider retiring. Serie A club Como, who have been given ambitions, chose a couple of weeks ago to terminate the contract of Dele Alli despite friendship and mutual respect from manager Cesc Fàbregas.

His performances have been far below expectations, and the lack of continuity, along with physical and personal issues, has made this period particularly challenging for him.
Nevertheless, according to AS, two English teams have shown interest in signing him. Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves), who are currently at the bottom of the Premier League, see in Dele Alli an opportunity to strengthen their midfield and add experience at a critical time in the season. His arrival could provide creativity and leadership in crucial matches in an attempt to avoid relegation.

On the other hand, Ipswich Town, who were relegated to the Championship this season, have also been paying close attention to the Englishman’s situation. The club aims to return to the top division and believes that Dele Alli can lead a competitive project. His experience in the Premier League and his ability to create attacking plays could be crucial to tackling the demanding season in the second division.
The fact that Dele Alli is a free agent makes the signing more attractive for both clubs. Without the need to pay a transfer fee, teams can offer him terms tailored to his needs, allowing him to choose the project that best suits his future and giving him the opportunity to regain the confidence he has lost in recent months.
Dele Alli’s future is uncertain.
Dele Alli now has to weigh his options. Continuing in the Premier League with Wolves will allow him to remain in the top division and face the best teams in England, albeit in a more limited role in a team fighting for survival. On the other hand, accepting Ipswich Town’s offer will give him the chance to be a key player, lead a project back to the Premier League, and regain confidence and motivation after a very challenging period.
The midfielder has admitted to those closest to him that the pressure and uncertainty of recent months made him consider leaving football, but now, with these options on the table, he seems willing to move on and make a decision that could revitalize his career.
In the meantime, Alli continues to train and assess his options. Both clubs are eager to finalize the deal soon, which adds pressure but also clarity: the Englishman must decide whether to remain in the elite or take on a more prominent role to regain his form and confidence.
