Bayern have informed his representatives that they would be willing to pay his release clause if the German side pushes ahead with their interest.

WHAT HAPPENED?

De Zerbi spoke about his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brighton-roberto-de-zerbi-brighton-stay-liverpool-bayern-munich/bltbb460be21e1463d9#csf723838eb9a3862b" target="_blank">future</a> last month and insisted he was committed to the Seagulls, saying: “I feel good in England, in the Premier League and I have no intention of leaving."There is no team that can change my mind, I have made a commitment. I like being outside and experiencing the atmosphere of the stadium. Furthermore, in England, I have the opportunity to improve my knowledge of the language and football.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“This is my last press conference as FC Bayern manager, there were talks, but we didn’t reach an agreement so the decision from February still stands,” Tuchel explained in a recent press conference.

WHAT TUCHEL SAID

For now, De Zerbi will concentrate on finishing the 2023/24 Premier League campaign on a high with Brighton. The Seagulls will face Manchester United on the final day of the season this weekend, who have also been touted as a possible landing destination for the Italian this summer.
