Less than 30 years old! Mid-Trade: Former Tottenham midfielder and England international Ali is seriously considering retirement
9:53am, 2 August 2025【Football】
August 2 According to the Milan Sports Daily, Alibaba is seriously considering retirement.
Ali currently plays for Serie A team Cuomo, but he is currently training alone with players who are not in the team's plan. He is weighing whether to leave professional football completely, which marks a regrettable stage of his once hopeful career.
Ali joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 and performed well under Pochettino. He performed amazingly in the 2016/17 season, scoring a total of 22 goals in all competitions, establishing his position as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe. Ali played a key role in Tottenham's 2019 Champions League final and made 37 appearances for England, including participating in the 2018 World Cup. But a series of injuries, declining condition and off-court problems hindered his ascent.
Ali later performed mediocrely in Everton. After being loaned to Besiktas in 2022, he was absent for nearly a year due to a serious groin injury and his loan experience was unsuccessful.
Ali was sent off against AC Milan when she made her debut for Cuomo in March this year and ended the game early. It is said that this red card made Cuomo coach Fabregas very dissatisfied.
Ali was once one of the most promising players in Europe and thrived under Pochettino. But he failed to revive his career in Italy as expected.
Ali talked frankly about his childhood of trauma last year. In a touching interview, he revealed that he had been sexually assaulted at the age of 6, started smoking and drug trafficking at the age of 8, and tried to commit suicide at the lowest point in his life.
Ali's transfer to Cuomo was once seen as a new beginning, setting sail again in a quieter environment under the guidance of Fabregas. At first, the signs were good. Alibaba performed well in the training camp and looked quite good after the winter break.
But that red card against Milan was costly, and since then, Alibaba's time in Italy gradually collapsed. Ali has one year left in contract with Cuomo, but it is still unknown whether he will play again.
At present, one of England's most favored players is likely to have to hang up their boots in advance before the age of 30.
