From Sky Sports:
'Dele Alli could leave Everton this summer, despite only signing a two-and-a-half-year deal in January. The midfielder arrived from Tottenham on a free transfer, but the fee could eventually be worth up to £40m. Spurs are due a small bonus if Alli completes 10 matches for the Toffees. He has appeared nine times off the bench and been an unused sub in Frank Lampard’s last three games. Dele’s old employers would then land £10m if the 26-year-old completes 20 appearances, but he may have left before then. Everton are hoping to get anything up to £20m for the former MK Dons ace but they would have to hand 25 per cent of it to Spurs'
So Everton have paid nothing for him, not played him in enough matches to trigger a clause and then could sell him for £20m or so and give £5m to Spurs.
£15m for effectively paying Alli's wages for 6 months is outstanding business. How on earth did Spurs let him go for free and not just sell him to someone for more than the £5m they might get if Everton sell him around that value now?
They were clearly willing to get nothing for him and anything on top of that was just a bonus! |  | | |  |

WHo would honestly pay £40m for him? He's really not done anything of note in so long now |  |

He hasn't.
But what Spurs are effectively saying is that instead of selling him for whatever his value is, they were prepared to only get 25% of that same value, foregoing the other 75%.
Unless they actually believed Everton were stupid enough to play him in 10 games and trigger that clause. It looks pretty deliberately and cleverly managed by Everton. | | | |

Surely no-one will pay anything close to £20m for him. He’s terrible. |  | | |

People employ Bruce, Lambert, Lennon because of what they once did.
There's bound to be a club stupid enough in the bottom half of the Premier League to pay for the Alli of a few years ago, convinced they can magic him back to being an England regular. | | | |

Bournemouth? Was Alli at Spurs at the same time as Scott Parker? | |

One of the most overrated players I can remember in recent years. The odd moment of outrageous skill and touch but overall a very awkward footballer to watch, even when he was playing every week for Spurs. [Post edited 18 May 2022 16:08]

Unless Alli took a pay cut when he joined Everton, paying his wages for 6 months would have cost them at least £3.5m so good luck to them making some of that back... |  |

I was gonna say - Everton has still paid a fair chunk of change for a bloke that made 9 sub appearances. | |

He’s been awful for about 4 years now. No way anyone is paying 20m for him. Except Newcastle, they’re drunk on oil money. |  |

25 year old midfielder with huge experience, loads of England caps and more than 50 PL goals - same reason Everton willing to take the risk on him.
MK Dons will be gutted as been waiting for their Dele dividend for years and it's dwindling away |  |

Nah. He’s more interested in hairstyles and social media now. | | | |

During filming of the Spurs documentary on Prime, Eric Dier labelled Deli Ali a ‘spoilt child’ - someone who throws things around to make a point after a defeat but doesn’t actually up his effort on the pitch.
I’m guessing Spurs just wanted rid of him. |  | | |

I think Dier and Ali were best mates. |  |

I stand corrected - just saw a few mins from a random couple of episodes. One of which was Dier taking a swipe at Ali. | | | |
