Dele Alli is being linked with a surprise move to Spanish side Real Oviedo, with the former England international currently without a club and available on a free transfer.
Data from Transfermarkt lists the 29-year-old attacking midfielder as in talks to move from free-agent status to the LaLiga outfit, though no fee or contract details are indicated and the probability of the deal is marked only as “?”. Alli’s current market value is given as €1.50m, a dramatic contrast to the €100m valuation he once commanded at his peak with Tottenham Hotspur.
Alli, born in Milton Keynes on 11 April 1996 and standing at 1.88m, holds English and Nigerian nationality and is primarily an attacking midfielder. He left Italian club Como 1907 for free agency in September 2025, having earlier joined the Serie B side from Everton in January 2025. Before that, he spent a long spell in the Premier League with Spurs and Everton, as well as a loan in Türkiye with Beşiktaş.
There are no recent competitive match details in the data, underlining how limited his top-level involvement has become in the last few seasons. His career trajectory is starkly illustrated by his market value history: from early figures of €50,000 at Milton Keynes Dons to a peak of €100m at Tottenham in 2018, followed by a steady decline through his time at Everton and Beşiktaş to his current €1.50m as a free agent.
Real Oviedo are currently listed under LaLiga in the transfer data, and a move would add Spanish top-flight experience to a CV that already includes English and Turkish leagues as well as Italian football. If the transfer does materialise, it could offer Alli a rare opportunity to rebuild his reputation and relaunch a once-elite career in a new environment.
