Barcelona are interested in bringing Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to the Nou Camp

Antonio Conte has refused to rule out leaving Chelsea after just one season at Stamford Bridge and is on the wanted list of Inter Milan.


The Italian has done a remarkable job this season leading the Blues to within touching distance of a
Premier League and FA Cup double.

Conte is due to be under contract for another season and the club were planning to sit down and discuss a new deal later this month.


But he moved to England without his wife and daughter who were widely expected to link up with him in time for the start of next season.



Barca are looking to replace Luis Enrique who announced in February that he would be standing down but they have yet to get someone in place.
Conte has however caught the eye of the Barcelona hierarchy with his transformation of Chelsea’s fortunes and they are ready to have a go at luring him to Spain.




Roman Abramovich cannot persuade Conte to stay in London he wont have to look very far for his replacement with his close friend Leonid Slutsky in pole position.


The former CSKA Moscow and Russia boss, 45, has been living in London since January and has been close friends with Chelsea’s billionaire owner for more than a decade.


Slutsky who has been learning English has been living in the Chelsea hotel, and has been a regular at Chelsea matches as well as the club’s Cobham training ground.
