Juventus Weighing Whether to Really Pursue Conte | OneFootball

Juventus and Milan are watching what’s going on between Antonio Conte and Napoli with a keen eye. They’d be interested if he left the Partenopei. However, the Bianconeri also have reservations related to his past and personality, Calciomercato informs.

The Old Lady has yet to decide whether to keep Igor Tudor, whose future will hinge on the results. If they changed the coach again, they would go for a sure thing after what occurred with Thiago Motta. Their former midfielder would fit the mold perfectly.

The first condition for Juventus to go after Conte is that he gets out of his Napoli contract on his own. They wouldn’t want to open talks with their archrivals. There were a few opportunities for a reunion in recent years, but Andrea Agnelli never forgave the boss for his mid-July exit a few years ago. Some resentment from that lingers in Turin. The front office is completely different now, but not the ownership. The impetus would have to come from there.

Moreover, his recent remarks have intensified the concerns about his brusque character and sudden changes of heart.

Our Take on Juventus and Conte

The best-case scenario for them is Tudor earning his permanence by finishing the season well. He’s demanding too, hence his Lazio departure, but a lot less expensive and cumbersome. More than anything, the Napoli gaffer would request several pricey additions, preferably already established players with big salaries. The Bianconeri have gone in the opposite direction, getting younger and cheaper payroll-wise. He’d have to like the present squad for it to be a match and not start an immediate tug-of-war.
