Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has crafted an enticing three-year contract proposal for Antonio Conte, eager to lure the former Juventus manager to Naples. De Laurentiis recognizes the imperative for a significant overhaul this summer, especially after a disappointing season post-Scudetto, marked by a revolving door of coaches and a lack of silverware. Additionally, the imminent departure of star striker Victor Osimhen in a high-profile transfer adds urgency to Napoli’s need for change.
Conte has emerged as Napoli’s top candidate to succeed Francesco Calzona, with De Laurentiis actively engaging with him in discussions over the past months to entice him to accept the role at the season’s end. According to reports from Il Mattino via TMW, Napoli is prepared to meet Conte’s contract demands, offering a lucrative three-year agreement totaling €24 million net, equating to an annual salary of €8 million net. Furthermore, the club has assured Conte autonomy in the transfer market, granting him the authority to select Osimhen’s replacement.
Despite recent rumors linking Conte to Juventus and ongoing contact from the Turin club’s director, Francesco Calvo, Napoli remains steadfast in their approach, unwilling to pressure the Italian coach. Meanwhile, Juventus seems inclined towards a younger and more cost-effective coaching option should they opt to replace Massimiliano Allegri.
