INTERESTING NEWS: Chelsea enters the competition with Milan to secure the services of Italian coach De Zerbi.

Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi, known for his successful tenure at Brighton, has attracted attention from several top clubs, including Chelsea, who have now joined Milan, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich in pursuit of his services.

De Zerbi, who has previously managed Benevento, Sassuolo, and Shakhtar Donetsk, has impressed with his dynamic style of play in the Premier League. Reports suggest that Milan had earmarked him as their top choice to succeed Stefano Pioli, while Chelsea, as reported by The Guardian, have also added him to their list of potential candidates, alongside Ruben Amorim of Sporting CP.

Chelsea, currently facing challenges under Mauricio Pochettino, may be the most inclined to trigger De Zerbi’s £10 million release clause from Brighton.

Sky Sports Deutschland reports that Bayern Munich has also expressed interest in De Zerbi, placing him second on their list after Xabi Alonso. Additionally, with vacancies expected at Liverpool and Barcelona in the summer, De Zerbi’s name has been linked to both clubs.
