De Zerbi Departure Reignites Barcelona Link

Could Roberto De Zerbi Be Tempted Away from Brighton?

Roberto De Zerbi's future is in the spotlight once again, with the Italian manager admitting he could be tempted away from Brighton amid speculation he is wanted by Barcelona. The Catalan giants have been linked with a move for De Zerbi in recent weeks, and the manager's latest comments have done little to quell rumors.

Barcelona Put Off by Brighton's Price Tag

However, according to reports, Barcelona have been put off a move for De Zerbi due to Brighton's high asking price. The Premier League club is reportedly demanding a fee of around £10 million for their manager, which has deterred Barcelona. De Zerbi is under contract with Brighton until 2026, and the club is in no rush to sell him.

De Zerbi's Future Remains Unclear

Despite the speculation, De Zerbi's future remains unclear. The Italian has been discussing his future with Brighton, but no decision has been made yet. De Zerbi has admitted that he is happy at Brighton, but he has also acknowledged that Barcelona is a club that he has always admired.

It remains to be seen whether De Zerbi will leave Brighton for Barcelona. However, his latest comments have certainly reignited speculation that a move could be on the cards.
