It remains to be seen whether the 44-year-old will be tempted to move to Barcelona if the Blaugrana come calling with a concrete proposal in the summer.On the other hand, Liverpool will lose Jurgen Klopp in the summer, and they will have to replace the charismatic German adequately.
De Zerbi is well-settled in the Premier League, and he has impressed with his coaching at Brighton. He could prove to be a quality future appointment for the Reds, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Liverpool are already competing for major trophies, and the Italian will feel that he can guide them to further glories in the coming seasons. The Reds have substantial resources and a quality squad as well. They will certainly be a tempting destination for the Italian manager.
Both Barcelona and Liverpool will be exciting destinations for him, and it will be interesting to see where the Italian ends up eventually. Brighton will certainly struggle to convince him to sign a new deal if there is concrete interest from the two clubs.
