Antonio Conte appears to be much closer to becoming Napoli’s new manager. De Laurentiis would have already reached an agreement and tomorrow could already be a decisive day.
Antonio Conte new coach of Naples. A suggestion until recently that instead seems to be becoming reality with the passing of the hours. It seems that the Neapolitans did not remain at the window waiting for the decision Gasperini which at the moment only has Atalanta as its priority. Aurelio De Laurentiis and the blue club – according to what the journalist and market expert Alfredo Pedullà explains from his Youtube channel – would have met With you Saturday 11 May at Turin. A summit in which there would have been some sort of agreement from an economic point of view.
A de facto agreement that inevitably brings Conte closer to Napoli starting from next season. Regardless of Gasperini’s speech, the Neapolitans have taken concrete steps on the name of the former Tottenham manager ready to return to Italy. Conte would in fact have facilitated the operation by showing himself willing to give up something compared to his initial economic demands. The name of remains in the background Stefano Pioli who will officially leave Milan at the final whistle of the last championship match against Salernitana.
Pioli could be the alternative plan to Conte for Napoli.
The economic agreement between De Laurentiis’ Napoli and Conte
Napoli with Antonio Conte would have reached an agreement on the salary of 6.5/7 million fixed base and a couple of million bonuses in case of qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. Two million bonuses which then become a fixed basis from the following season. From this point of view there would therefore have been a squaring of the circle between the parties. But at the moment there is a stalemate phase which could however see an acceleration from De Laurentiis already tomorrow to definitively close with Conte.
Conte’s request that made De Laurentiis pale over the choice of Napoli’s new coach
Tomorrow could therefore be a key day. On the one hand there is Atalanta will meet Gasperini again to discuss the future, perhaps definitively. The Nerazzurri’s offer is for a two-year renewal, while the coach would like a three-year deal provided that there is no downsizing of the squad and with an important transfer market. On the other hand, Napoli who certainly would not consider Conte an alternative to Gasperini and who could decide to finally sink the blow to sign the Salento coach and officially start the new season.
