Sports247 reports that the former Milton Keynes Dons dazzler, who had previously played for Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, has recently been touted with hanging his boots, as he has been clubless since September.
The once-revered England international, who got 37 caps for The Three Lions between 2015 and 2019, has not taken to the pitch since playing the final few minutes for Como against AC Milan on March 15, 2025.
He was then released by Como in September, after making only one appearance for the Serie A outfit, and he has only played 29 games combined for the Italian club, Everton and Besiktas since leaving Tottenham in January 2022.
However, despite all daunting odds against him, Alli has made it clear he has no plans to retire from football at the age of 29, and he declared: “I can’t wait to get back on the pitch playing, hopefully it won’t be too long now.”
