Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly a target for clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United at the end of the season.
A report from the Mirror claims that the two clubs will have to pay a substantial amount of money to appoint him in the summer. The Italian will cost around £12.8 million and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Manchester United are prepared to pay up.
The 44-year-old is certainly one of the best young managers around Europe right now and he has the quality to succeed at top clubs.
Liverpool need to bring in a quality young manager like him, especially with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club in the summer. De Zerbi has shown his quality in the Premier League and he could be the ideal replacement for Klopp.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are keeping tabs on a number of managers as well. They have had a disappointing season by their standards and they are unlikely to win any major trophy. Erik ten Hag has failed to get the best out of his big money, signings attachment, faces, and uncertain future at Old Trafford.
Roberto De Zerbi could be tempted
De Zerbi could be attracted to the idea of joining the biggest clubs in the Premier League and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Manchester United and Liverpool can provide him with the platform to compete for major trophies.
The Italian manager has impressed with his free-flowing attacking football at Brighton and the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United would certainly benefit from his approach. Both clubs will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons and they could use a quality manager in the summer.
