Finally, Chelsea owner Mr Roman Abramovich has moved in to stop Italian manager from leaving Chelsea when summer comes.
New reports coming from Italy reveals that the Russian billionaire has stepped into his club’s negotiations with Conte in a bid to preventing the former Juventus coach from joining Inter Milan at the end of this season.
It was reported that Chelsea’s officials have drawn up a new deal for the former Italy head coach and the deal has been approved by Mr Roman Abramovich.
It was added that the new deal will see Antonio’s yearly salary rise from £4.6 million to £7.6 million. And not only that, it was also added that the west London club promised to change their approach to transfers.
The Italian manager is said to be displeased with the way Chelsea carried out business last summer – just one of his preferred targets (in the person of N’Golo Kante) was brought in.
And as if that is not enough, the club allowed some stars like John Obi Mikel and Branislav Ivanovic to go without adequate replacements being made for them.
However, Mr Abramovich is said to be wary of Inter Milan’s interest in his manager. The Italian club just had a change of ownership, and their new Chinese owners are set to splash huge cash to get Conte.
Chelsea fans are already in love with Conte, and perhaps, he will stay to lead them to the Champions League next season.
