Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has cast doubt on his future at the club, indicating a reluctance to sign a new contract amidst speculation linking him to Liverpool. Despite his impressive tenure at Brighton, which includes securing European football for the club, De Zerbi seeks clarity on the club’s long-term vision before committing.
De Zerbi emphasized the importance of aligning with the club’s plans, stating, “I want to understand their plan, their vision for the future.” With his contract running until 2026, Brighton could demand a significant fee, reported to be at least £12 million, from any potential suitors.
Liverpool, amidst their managerial transition, could see De Zerbi’s upcoming clash against them as an audition for the Italian to succeed Jurgen Klopp. However, De Zerbi’s focus remains on his current responsibilities at Brighton, with negotiations ongoing regarding his future at the club.
As speculation swirls around De Zerbi’s next move, his commitment to Brighton and the resolution of talks with club owner Tony Bloom will determine his coaching journey in the seasons ahead.
