Roberto De Zerbi emerges as a potential target for Bayern Munich if Xabi Alonso remains out of reach, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, confirming reports from German outlet SportBILD.
While Liverpool holds admiration for Brighton & Hove Albion’s manager, De Zerbi’s availability could provide the Merseysiders with a clearer path. However, Ruben Amorim remains a priority for Liverpool, though Manchester United’s interest in the Sporting Lisbon boss could complicate matters.
Nevertheless, Liverpool’s project may offer a more enticing proposition than the turmoil at Old Trafford. Amidst uncertainties surrounding Alonso’s future with Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool could have an open opportunity to pursue Amorim.
As Alonso remains silent on his decision amidst Bayer Leverkusen’s title contention in the Bundesliga and their pursuit of silverware in the Europa League and DFB Pokal, De Zerbi’s lack of Premier League experience could be a consideration. However, a move to Anfield would represent a significant leap for the former Shakhtar Donetsk boss.
Ultimately, Liverpool’s decision could hinge on internal assessments of both managerial candidates’ performances.
