Dele Alli Approached by Genoa for Surprise Move to Serie A

Genoa Eyes Move: Former Tottenham Star

Offering the ex-Tottenham and England international a possible route back into top-flight football, Serie A outfit Genoa has apparently approached Dele Alli about signing. Due to a thigh injury, Alli hasn’t played since 2022; he left Everton in the summer and became a free agent, but he kept training with the Toffees during his recuperation.

Il Secolo XIX claims that since Genoa has contacted the 28-year-old midfielder over a possible contract, he might be on the brink of returning to competitive football. Should the relocation to Italy be effective, Alli’s career may be revived and he would have a fresh start following a demanding era on and off the field.

Mental Health Battles and Damage Wishes

Beyond his thigh damage, Alli has been candid about his mental health issues, which helped explain his absence from the game. For the 37-cap international, whose early career path showed great potential, a return to top-flight football with Genoa would be significant.

Almost nine years ago, Dele made his England debut at just 19 years old following a rapid ascent from League One with MK Dons to top-notch Premier League and Champions League performance with Tottenham. Once considered as one of England’s most gifted players, a possible trip to Genoa might mark a turning point in his path to get back in form.
