'I have no intention to leave!' - Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi hints at Brighton stay after links with Liverpool and Bayern Munich

Speaking to Bobo TV in Italy, De Zerbi emphasized his commitment to Brighton and clarified that his immediate future lies in England. The Italian coach's tenure at Brighton has seen a significant rise in his reputation after he guided the Seagulls to a European spot in his first season in charge.

Earlier, De Zerbi had revealed that he is hesitant to commit to a new deal with Brighton as he wants to ensure that the club's ambitions and plans align with his own. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Italian has firmly stated his loyalty to Brighton, asserting that no club could tempt him to leave the Premier League and revealing he is ready to honour his current contract which runs until 2026.

“I love Italy and our football,” he said.

“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.”

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, De Zerbi remains focused on his current role and is set to lead Brighton in their upcoming fixture against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
