Conte has ‘put a plan’ in place to take over at PSG

- ANTONIO CONTE

and his representa­tives have already proposed a “plan” to Paris SaintGerma­in if the Italian were to become the club’s next manager, according to reports.

Tottenham boss Conte is claimed to have offered his services to PSG at the end of the season.

PSG are set to sack current boss Mauricio Pochettino this summer after Pochettino was unable to lead the French giants past the last16 in the Champions League.

Zinedine Zidane is said to be the leading candidate to take over at PSG. However, if the former Real Madrid boss cannot be convinced,

Conte could be next in line.

Conte only took over at Tottenham last November and could lead the club into the Premier League top four this season.

But European football expert Julien Laurens says discussion­s have already been held with PSG about a plan Conte would have in place if he was to move to the French capital.

“He’s doing a decent job at Spurs, they can finish top four,” Laurens told TalkSport.

“In that case I think he would be happy to stay, especially if the club says ‘we’re going to back you up financiall­y and we’re going to recruit good players, the ones that you want’.

“And if they miss out on top four he can easily say ‘well I might have other offers’ and he’s already offered himself to PSG. He’s already kind of put a plan together even, about Paris.

“Who he wants to work with over there, what kind of money he’s looking for. So this is someone who, if you do that really, it’s because in the back of your mind you also have other options.

“So it might stay at Spurs but I think if PSG can’t get Zidane and sack Pochettino, he would certainly be on the shortlist.” – Express Newspapers
