When the Seagulls compete in Europe for the first time next season, Roberto De Zerbi is aware that several of Brighton's top players might not be on his team.

With their 3-1 Premier League victory over Southampton on Sunday, Albion virtually clinched themselves of sixth place and at the at least the Europa Conference League.

The futures of some men who contributed to history at the Amex remain uncertain; Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo are two names that have been connected to summer transfers.

"Now we have to organize, we have to build a new squad," De Zerbi remarked. We need to plan for the upcoming season.

We don't need a lot of players, in my opinion, but we still have to contend in the Europa League. Since it will undoubtedly be harder for us, we must compete in the Premier League.We will likely lose several key players, but it's still appropriate, right? Because they deserve to play for other targets in another team, but we have to be ready to bring in other major players with the club's policy. "We have to arrive ready to compete in four competitions."

Some rumors claim that World Cup winner Mac Allister, who signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Albion in January 2019, has already mostly agreed to transfer to Liverpool.

However, Brighton CEO Paul Barber was quick to deny such rumors, telling talkSPORT that if he lost sleep over every claim he read about one of his players doing that, he wouldn't be sleeping much at all.He is currently focused on giving us his best effort in our remaining two games of the season. We have a big game here against Manchester City on Wednesday, and then we finish off our outstanding season at Villa Park on Sunday.He appeared quite delighted when I saw him on the field, and we would definitely want for him to return for the following campaign.
