"Brighton" team currently coached by Roberto De Zerbi is increasingly mentioned among the candidates to take over the reins of much larger clubs.

The 44-year-old Italian is identified as a contender for the top coaching position at "Liverpool" or "Manchester United", and his situation is being watched by clubs from other countries as well.

However, the club that wants to attract the specialist from Italy next summer will have to open up their wallet a bit.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that in the upcoming summer, R. De Zerbi's contract includes a possibility to leave for a buyout of approximately 13 million pounds sterling.

The current Italian's contract with "Brighton" is valid until the summer of 2026.
