The indiscretion is sensational: Antonio Conte, after his farewell to Juventus, would be very close to Paris Saint Germain. According to Corriere dello Sport, the emissaries of the Salento coach have already reached an agreement with the Parisian club and the announcement would be very close by now, but the Parisian club, questioned by the Equipe, flatly denied the rumour.
For the ambitions of the former Juventus coach, PSG would be the ideal solution. More than the Italian national team, for sure. Conte would have a very talented team on his hands and a company very willing to invest in the market to deliver to its coach, whoever it is, the most competitive of the roses. To win at home, of course, and to aim for the big target in Europe as well.
But would Conte be the right choice for PSG? Last year Laurent Blanc won the championship with ease, repelling without hesitation the assaults of Claudio Ranieri's billionaire Monaco, without Radamel Falcao since January. In the Champions League, the French coach did better than Conte ever did with Juventus, stopping one step away from the semi-finals due to a late goal by Demba Ba.
As mentioned, when questioned by the Equipe, the French club denied any contact with the former Juventus coach. According to some, the spread of this rumor could be a maneuver by Conte's entourage to put pressure on the Italian national team. To find out where the truth is, as in all transfer market intrigues, just wait.
