It’s thought that “many clubs” are keeping a close eye on Roberto De Zerbi’s circumstances.
When Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool at the end of the season, the manager of Brighton is one of the managerial targets being considered by the team.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, any potential suitor will have to pay a release clause for his services that is estimated to be worth about £13 million.
Roberto De Zerbi is another name I would put on a possible list, the Guardian correspondent said on the JD Football YouTube channel.
“De Zerbi is excelling at Brighton. Numerous teams are closely monitoring his circumstances.
According to what I’ve been told, this case also contains a release clause. It is approximately £13 million. Watch to see whether Liverpool chooses to pursue him or not.
“There isn’t anything concrete at this time. I continue to think they’ll give it their all for Xabi Alonso.
De Zerbi as Liverpool’s next manager: a perfect fit?
Given that De Zerbi has essentially had to make do with a side that lost both Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister in the same window, we shouldn’t be too hard on him.
In light of this, the Seagulls have handled their top-flight responsibilities and European competition pretty well.
It’s also still possible that the team from the South Coast ends on par with their 62-point sixth-place result from the previous season.
While it wouldn’t hurt his cause, we’re not sure if it will be sufficient to move him up in the rankings above Xabi Alonso.
