The last time Alli played a competitive match was nearly two years ago, in February 2023, when he was loaned from Everton to Turkish side Beşiktaş.
After his contract with Everton expired last summer, Alli continued training with the team until December, when he moved to Como for training, leading to rumors of a potential move.
While there was speculation about whether Alli would join the Serie A side, the deal has now been officially completed, marking a significant moment in his career.

This successful signing demonstrates that Como recognizes Alli’s ability and form as a professional player.
Could the former English star really be making a comeback?
From being a £100 million talent to almost two years without playing, Alli’s market value remains at €3.5 million.

While many believe Alli’s footballing skills are undeniable, it’s clear that a professional player also needs to maintain the right attitude and competitive spirit on the field.
This marks Alli’s first-ever move to Serie A, where he will play under head coach Fabregas at Como.
Fabregas’s coached Como currently sits in 13th place in Serie A
The club is currently 13th in the league and is in its second season since promotion to Serie A.
At Como, Alli will join a player with a similar journey, Patrick Cutrone, who rediscovered his form here and became the team’s top scorer.
Last October, while Alli was keeping fit at Everton, reports suggested that the 28-year-old former England international set an alarm on his phone, reminding himself that his goal was the 2026 World Cup.
Alli still hopes to return to the national team
For Alli, who hasn’t played in nearly two years, the big question is whether he can revive his career at Como and make a return to the England national team.
