Jorge Mendes, the agent whose clients include Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, has held formal talks with a member of Dele Alli’s family about adding the Spurs and England midfielder to his Gestifute agency.
Alli’s contract with Impact Sports Management — fronted by highly-respected agent Rob Segal — does not expire until midway through next year, meaning there is no rush.
Nevertheless, the meeting with Mendes is an intriguing development considering the agent’s close links with Real Madrid, who are keeping close tabs on Alli’s development.
Alli is known to fancy a move to the Bernabeu at some point in his career and being a Mendes client would certainly help facilitate any deal.
