Liverpool, Bayern Munich-linked manager hints at summer exit from Premier League club
De Zerbi is widely regarded as one of Europe's brightest young coaches having received plaudits for his attractive style of play and ability to work with young players during his 18-month spell in charge of the Seagulls.
The 44-year-old successfully secured European football for Brighton for the first time in the club's history last season, courtesy of a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.
De Zerbi's men were beaten by Roma over two legs in the Europa League last 16 earlier this month, but they are still competing for a top-seven finish in the Premier League this term, currently sitting ninth in the table and just two points behind seventh-placed West Ham United who have played two games more than the Seagulls.
The Italian stated at the end of last year that he was in talks with Brighton over extending his contract beyond June 2026.
