Roberto De Zerbi, considered a frontrunner for the to-be-vacant Liverpool job, has told Brighton and Hove Albion’s owner Tony Bloom that he is not yet willing to sign a new deal amidst interest from elsewhere. The South Coast club are desperate to tie the Italian down to a new contract, but De Zerbi is said to be open to a departure in the summer as both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are said to be interested in signing the former Shakhtar Donetsk manager.
