Overview

  • Como and Alli confirmed the mutual termination in a statement released around the transfer deadline, making him a free agent.
  • Alli joined the Serie A club in January 2025 on an 18‑month deal that was due to run through the 2025–26 season.
  • His only appearance came on March 15 at San Siro against AC Milan, where he was sent off roughly nine to ten minutes after coming on as a substitute following a VAR upgrade.
  • He was later left out of Cesc Fàbregas' plans for 2025–26, with reports indicating he trained on an individual schedule and did not play again despite several bench listings.
  • The departure comes with about ten months remaining on his contract, and follows a period marked by injuries and publicly discussed mental‑health and addiction struggles.
