Conte has never hidden his irritation at Chelsea’s transfer strategy, repeatedly stating in public that his squad was too limited for several tournaments and he didn’t get the players he asked for.
PSG do not hold back on their spending and have made it clear their ambition is to win the Champions League, or at least progress beyond the Round of 16.
According to The Observer newspaper, Paris Saint-Germain’s approach to Conte is currently informal and he is simply being sounded out.
Conte also remains one of the contenders to take over the Italy job, a role he held from 2014 to 2016 before moving to Chelsea.
