Roberto De Zerbi appears to be in demand this summer, with Bayern Munich also considering moving for the Brighton boss at the end of the season.
Barcelona have been linked with bringing in De Zerbi to replace Xavi, although the Italian’s release clause may be prove a problem for the Catalans.
Bayern are also keen, according to reporter Florian Plettenberg, although De Zerbi is not the Bavarian giants’ first choice.
Xabi Alonso continues to top their list of candidates to take over from Thomas Tuchel, with De Zerbi seen as a “plan B or C” if they can’t tempt the Bayer Leverkusen boss to Allianz Arena.
