Tottenham are reportedly ‘in talks’ with Antonio Conte over a new contract and they are willing to make him the best-paid manager in the Premier League’.
A lot has been made about Conte’s situation at Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.
He only signed an 18-month deal when he replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at Spurs towards the end of 2021.
The Italian has been backed by the Tottenham hierarchy in the transfer market as they have spent around £180m on signings in the past two windows.
He is yet to commit his future to Spurs though and he has been linked with Serie A giants Juventus in recent weeks.
Conte previously managed them for three years between 2011 and 2014. He helped them win the Serie A title three times.

“If he has been involved in those discussions then that tells me he is thinking of sticking around. Thirdly, I think he has realised he has quite a good thing at Tottenham.
“I don’t think we are that far away. I think we will have a good season challenging in all four competitions we are in.
“I don’t want to have too many reactionary takes to the North London derby but we are still making good progress this season.
“We are still third and we have a lot of winnable home games coming up.”
Football Insider are now reporting that Conte is ‘in talks’ with Tottenham over a new deal.
It is suggested that Spurs are willing to pay him £20m a year and this is equivalent to around £400,000 per week. This would make the ex-Chelsea boss the ‘best-paid manager in the Premier…
