Revealed: Why Brighton players fear Roberto De Zerbi will leave the club this summer

Roberto De Zerbi has done a stellar job since arriving on the south coast to replace Graham Potter back in September.

His Brighton team are closing on European qualification for the first time in the club’s history.

However, his long-term future at the Amex is coming under some doubt with major clubs following him…

De Zerbi’s Italy return?

Brighton players are fearful that De Zerbi will not be at the club next season, according to the Telegraph.

There is genuine concern within the squad that the 43-year-old will return to his native country.

The Italian is being strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan.

Although handing him a more active role in reinvesting those funds could convince him to stay.

De Zerbi is keen to secure a more prominent role in the club’s transfer strategy.

Guiding the Seagulls into their first-ever European campaign may also sway his decision.

Brighton could move into sixth with a win over Manchester United this evening.
