Dele Alli’s Career Takes a Turn as Wrexham Walks Away

Unattached Status Following Como Departure

Dele Alli finds himself without a team after the cancellation of his contract with Serie A club Como, and the situation has deteriorated as Wrexham has now ruled out a potential signing.

After being released by Everton in 2024, Alli had the opportunity to play for Como under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas. However, despite his aspirations to represent England in the upcoming World Cup, he was deemed unnecessary for the team’s needs this summer.

Wrexham’s Potential Interest Fizzles Out

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was rumored to be on the radar of Wrexham, a club backed by Hollywood figures, which has made its way into the Championship this season. Manager Phil Parkinson had shown interest in bringing him on board.

Recently, Wrexham declared one open spot on their 25-man roster, but Parkinson has since indicated that Ollie Rathbone is set to occupy that position.

Quotes from Phil Parkinson

“I believe Ollie is nearing his return. I just wanted to ensure he gets through this week of training, and early signs are encouraging. He should be back in a couple of weeks. We really need Ollie; he’s a vital player for us and played a crucial role last season.”

“His experience in the Championship is evident; although he faced challenges in his second year at Rotherham due to a weaker squad, he’s familiar with this level of competition. When he signed with us, he was eager to return to the Championship.”

“His season has been impacted so far, but he’s naturally fit, making it all the more crucial to reintegrate him into the team soon. His energy and ability are something I look forward to seeing back on the pitch.”

Current Standing and Future Implications

Wrexham is positioned 15th in the Championship table after a challenging beginning to the season. It has become evident that Parkinson does not see Alli as a player who can elevate the team to a competitive place for promotion. The future for Alli remains uncertain, and it appears that his aspirations for another chance with the England squad might be slipping away.
