December 2025

The former England and Tottenham star is a free agent and struggling to attract interest after an injury-ravaged spell at Everton, a failed loan at Besiktas, and a single, red-carded cameo for Como that ended with his deal being torn up. Ex-Spurs defender Stephen Carr says Alli is in “last chance saloon”, warning his lack of games has left his body unaccustomed to elite intensity, making injuries and rust likely and meaning he may now have to accept trial spells and prove he still has the hunger.

Real Madrid retain the right to re-sign Argentine midfielder Nico Paz from Como for just €9 million in 2026 or €10 million in 2027 under the buyback clause agreed during his 2024 transfer. The 21-year-old has flourished under coach Cesc Fàbregas, recording six goals and nine assists last season and adding three goals and three assists this term.
Como president Mirwan Suwarso confirmed Madrid’s option, stating: “Real Madrid are allowed to buy him back whenever they want. It’s up to Nico to decide his future.” Tottenham had tabled a €70m offer in the summer, but Paz opted to stay. Seen as a long-term successor to Lionel Messi in Argentina’s midfield, he remains central to Xabi Alonso’s rebuild plans.

Como boss Cesc Fàbregas views Zirkzee as an ideal attacking addition, while Juve may reignite summer interest. United are open to a loan or permanent deal. With Amorim’s tenure already under pressure, Zirkzee’s future highlights issues in United’s transfer strategy.

Dele Alli’s first match in 748 days ended just nine minutes after coming on, as VAR upgraded his yellow card to a red for a foul on Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Walker tried to intervene out of personal loyalty.
Walker admitted he wouldn’t have defended anyone else, but his history with Dele at Spurs and England made him try. Dele, returning after years of career and personal struggles, was likely overzealous in stopping a counterattack. His comeback under Cesc Fàbregas was cut short in heartbreaking fashion.
