One of the most desirable European coaches, Roberto De Zerbi, may soon move to France.

As reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 45-year-old Italian is successfully negotiating with the team of "Marseille".

It is said that the French have only to pay the buyout fee to the "Brighton" club and the deal will be done.

The coach, who has shown excellent results with the modest English club in 2022-2024, was linked with teams like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Milan, Man Utd, and others in the spring.

In the past "Ligue 1" season, "Marseille" finished only 8th.
