There have been rumours flying around about Antonio Conte and Inter Milan. Some tabloids claim Conte is considering a move back to Italy (crazy right?), some say Inter Milan are ready to double his wages and some have gone and far as claiming Conte will dump Chelsea this summer.
At least, Simon Johnson of the Standard Sport has refused to go on with such rumours, rather he’s sent a reassuring message to every Chelsea fan to disbelieve such rumours.
Just to reassure any nervous #cfc fans, been told stories linking Antonio Conte with a move to Inter Milan are to be ignored

What is real is that you should expect an official announcement of a bumper deal for the Italian at the end of the season, plus his wife and daughter will be moving over to London.
“Conte, however, is fully focused on making his career at Chelsea a success and is not looking to leave. […] Talks have begun, although it is unlikely any agreement will be announced before the end of the season. Significantly, Conte’s wife Elisabetta and his daughter are moving to London from Italy on a permanent basis in the summer.
“Conte has also started briefing the club on signings he would like, with owner Roman Abramovich prepared to back him.” Source – Evening Standard.
