Dele Alli is the great goal of Paris Saint-Germain for this winter market. The English midfielder appeared on Leonardo's radar as the ideal reinforcement for the second half of the season: young, with a contrasted level in the elite but in need of vindication. This does not count for Jose Mourinho, who has given him opportunities without much result but, although the transfer seems a good way and more with Pochettino in the French capital, it is getting complicated.
As reported by Telegraph, ehe Paris Saint-Germain will return to the charge for Dele Alli and will insist with a new offer that manages to convince Londoners, they have rejected the first three. This diary ensures that the movement, if it occurs, will not be rapid. The reason? The injuries and that not everyone has lost faith in Alli.
The presence of Giovani Lo Celso and Gareth Bale in the infirmary make Alli, for the moment, stay to be able to cover if necessary any of the casualties of both the Argentine and the Welshman. In addition, Daniel Levy, president of the club, is one of the great supporters of his talent and still has faith that the player is capable of returning to his best level.
The handover appears frozen and only Levy has the key to unlock it as the rest of the parties involved seem in favor of it happening.

Pochettino is the coach who, so far, has marked Dele Alli's career. After emerging at MK Dons under the command of Karl Robinson, the Argentine took him under his arm and led him to become one of the most promising youngsters in the English League and even worldwide. The one from Milton Keynes even made it to the national team.
Now, at a difficult time for Alli, Pochettino's arrival in Paris may end up convincing him to reach the French capital. He and Levy, who knows the good relationship between them, knows that his player will be taken into account from the beginning.
After a good start under Mourinho, Alli was losing the place after his irregular performances. This season, after the summer reinforcements, Alli hardly counts. The medium has played 407 minutes spread over eleven games in which he has scored two goals and provided an assist. Paris waits and Alli too. Everything depends on Bale and Levy's injuries.
