Even though the Italian media is often wondering where Roberto De Zerbi will land next once he leaves Brighton & Hove Albion, they now admit he’s not that likely to leave the Seagulls so soon.
A long featured piece from Calcio Mercato now analyses a few options the manager may have for his future. They point out the vacant positions at Barcelona and Liverpool besides mentioning the possibility of his return to Serie A.
However, in a final paragraph, they make it clear that Brighton are actually in a strong position to hold him at the club. Not only because of his recent statements claiming he’s happy there, but also because they have a plan to keep him.
Calcio Mercato writes that there’s work ongoing for a longer contract with a higher salary, although the negotiation will ‘not be short’.
It’s said that while De Zerbi is flattered by the interest from other European clubs, Brighton now ‘try to take action’ by studying the plan for a renewal. First, they’re said to be focused on the ‘objectives on the field’, with the Seagulls now standing 9th in the Premier League.
