Dele Alli left Tottenham back in 2022

Dele moved to Goodison Park on a free transfer in January of 2022 but as part of the deal, it was agreed that Everton would have to pay Spurs £10m if the attacking midfielder made 20 appearances for the club before the end of his two-and-a-half-year contract (Football.London).

However, injuries meant that the former Spurs man could not make the required number of appearances, having featured just 13 times for the Toffees since his move.

The midfielder’s deal at Goodison Park has now run out and it is unclear what the future holds for the former Tottenham man.

What next for Dele Alli?

The Liverpool Echo reporter Joe Thomas revealed last week on the Royal Blue Mersey YouTube channel that if the Merseyside club were to offer Dele a new deal, that would mean that they would have to pay significant compensation to Tottenham.

However, The Mail have now claimed that Everton and Spurs have reached an agreement that will see the North London side surrender the previously agreed bonus.

That means that Sean Dyche’s men are now free to negotiate a new deal with the midfielder without having to worry about paying any fee to the player’s former club.

If Tottenham had not waved off this fee, the likelihood is that Everton would not hand Dele a new contract and the 28-year-old would have likely had to find a new club, which means that the Lilywhites were not going to get any compensation anyway.

So it is a no-brainer for Spurs to surrender this bonus so that the midfielder can get on with his career at Goodison Park.
