Breakthrough in Negotiations
Recent reports suggest that Napoli has made significant progress in their pursuit of Conte. According to CalcioNapoli, Napoli's interest in Conte has culminated in a breakthrough, with an economic agreement now reached between the two parties.
Initially, there were indications that Conte was hesitating to accept Napoli's offer. However, the deadlock has now been broken, paving the way for a potential partnership. The reported agreement entails a three-year contract worth €6.5 million per season, with Conte also given authority over player recruitment decisions.
Napoli has endorsed this approach, with CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis agreeing not to directly intervene in football-related matters.
Contingency Plans
While negotiations with Conte progressed, Napoli had also considered alternative options. Vincenzo Italiano was put on standby, and other potential candidates included Stefano Pioli and Gian Piero Gasperini. However, it appears that Napoli's focus has shifted firmly towards finalizing a deal with Conte.
