Determined to protect it, Brighton protects the most valuable thing it has

After the victory in the fiefdom of AEK Athens, Brighton will be in the next round of the Europa League. The match against Marseille on the last day will determine which team will go first in the group, thus ensuring they avoid the preliminary round against the teams from the Champions League.

A performance that highlights the great work of Roberto de Zerbi in the English team. Despite losing their best players each transfer market, the Seagulls' project remains competitive, facing the best teams in the Premier League.

In that sense, the seagulls already want to protect the Italian's contract. A free agent in 2026, the Lombard is wanted by Naples, where he played during his time as a footballer, and Real Madrid, as indicated by different media. Thus, the English are betting on renewing De Zerbi, one of the best coaches today. Matter to follow.

Ensuring that a successful coach is retained is key to the team's stability and progress, a statement that would be etched in the thoughts of businessman Tony Bloom, owner of the English south coast team. For now, the seagulls and their fans enjoy their coach and the results they have achieved with him. They are very close to certifying their pass to the second phase of the UEFA Europa League and in La Liga they are two points away from the places that give access to the Conference League.

His future at Real Madrid

Yes, that could happen. Training in the Premier gives a lot of prestige, but it must be recognized that moving from Brighton to the club in the Spanish capital would be an impressive leap in his career. But, of course, the English do not want to let him go, and even less so after losing Graham Potter, who ended up with his bones at Chelsea, leaving the project in the air until Roberto De Zerbi arrived.
