The trajectory of Dele Alli is a familiar narrative in football. He transitioned from a promising talent to a prodigious star at Tottenham before his career stalled amidst a series of off-field issues.
Jose Mourinho demanded more, yet Dele Alli faltered, unable to reignite his career at Spurs, Everton, or Besiktas. The former England international's prolific output, which once included seasons of 22 and 14 goals complemented by 9 and 15 assists, descended into utter mediocrity.
Hoping to avoid premature retirement, and despite nearly two years away from competitive football, Cesc Fabregas offered him one last chance at Como. He arrived in winter, immediately joining the Italian team's training camp in Andalusia.
Now, six months later, the Milton Keynes native has been omitted by the Catalan coach. 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' reports that the 29-year-old midfielder is reportedly considering retirement or a move to a lower-league club in the UK.
