Ruben Amorim two release clauses emerge as Roberto De Zerbi Liverpool move 'unlikely'

The 2023/24 season has entered its penultimate month as Jurgen Klopp's time as Liverpool manager draws to a close.

The Reds are looking to finish the campaign on a high, and Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion restored their place at the top of the Premier League with just nine games remaining. As well as sitting at the top-flight summit, Liverpool are eyeing a Europa League triumph, with Atalanta standing in their way of a place in the semi-final.

Since Klopp's surprise announcement at the end of January, managers have been touted with the soon-to-be vacant position at Anfield. Xabi Alonso was installed as the early frontrunner and favourite, but the former midfielder dismissed speculation after committing his future at Bayer Leverkusen in the future.

Liverpool told Roberto De Zerbi move 'unlikely'

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi is 'incredibly unlikely' to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.

Speaking on The Athletic FC podcast, he said: "My information is that it’s incredibly unlikely that Liverpool will go for De Zerbi.

"I’m being told that’s not going to happen. And I see the stories continue to propel, and also see that he’s heavily linked with Bayern Munich, so let’s see on that one."

It has also been reported that Bayern Munich's sporting director, Max Eberl, is a big fan of De Zerbi and has already made contact with him. Their back-up options also include former boss Julian Naglesmann and
