But now Italian newspaper La Stampa claim there is a different reason motivating Conte to leave: a mammoth offer to return to the Premier League with Spurs. Conte romped to the title with Inter, ending Juventus’ stranglehold (Picture: Reuters)Although the north Londoners finished just seventh last season, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has proposed a contract offer worth as much as £17million-a-year. That dwarfs the salary Conte is on at the moment, around £11m-a-year, while the club are under no pressure to sell players and have promised significant investment in recruitment so Conte can shape the squad how he sees fit.

Such is their fear Conte will leave, Inter are already looking at replacements and have already spoken to both Simone Inzaghi and Massimiliano Allegri.
