Barnet Offer Dele Alli Chance to Train With First Team

The invitation creates a practical route for the free agent to rebuild fitness at a League Two club rather than a confirmed return to professional football.

Overview

  • Dean Brennan confirmed on Thursday that Dele Alli has been renting Barnet’s training facilities and that the club has invited him to join first‑team sessions to work on his fitness.
  • Alli posted video footage of himself training at The Hive, showing him practising shooting and gym work as he seeks a new club after leaving Como in September 2025.
  • He has not played a competitive match since March 2025, when he was sent off after coming on for his only appearance for Como.
  • A tweet from Indian Super League side Odisha FC has added transfer speculation but there is no public contract offer or agreement in place.
  • Barnet are top of League Two and their manager framed the offer as a rehabilitation pathway that gives Alli match fitness and visibility without guaranteeing a signing.
