Former Tottenham and Everton midfielder Dele Alli could be poised for a football comeback as interest from La Liga clubs reportedly intensifies.
Since being released by Como in September 2025, the English international of Nigerian descent has remained a free agent but has focused on maintaining his fitness, preparing for a potential move during the winter transfer window.
According to Fichajes and GOAL, Alli is now attracting offers from four Spanish clubs, signaling a chance to revive his career. The interested sides include Elche, struggling Getafe, Sevilla, and bottom-of-the-table Real Oviedo, all seeking reinforcements to bolster their attacking options.
Oviedo, in particular, have scored just 11 goals in 20 league matches this season, highlighting their urgent need for creativity in the final third.
Sources indicate that the contracts on offer to Alli would be short-term, with the longest deal lasting 18 months. Clubs are cautious due to his recent time out of the game, his injury history, and his lack of experience in Spain.
Adapting to La Liga’s style, which differs from the Premier League and Serie B, will be key for Alli if he is to succeed.
Despite these concerns, Oviedo appear to be frontrunners in the pursuit, hoping Alli’s experience and attacking flair could provide the boost needed to stave off relegation. With just 13 points from 20 games, the club is desperate for a creative spark to transform their season.
Alli’s potential move to Spain offers him an opportunity to rebuild his career at a competitive level, while La Liga sides would benefit from a player with Premier League pedigree.
If an agreement is reached, the English midfielder will aim to prove that he still has the talent and drive to perform at a top-flight European club, potentially reigniting a career that has seen more lows than highs in recent years.
The coming weeks will be crucial as Alli weighs his options and La Liga clubs look to strengthen their squads ahead of the season’s second half.
