A report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport has detailed the friction present between Inter coach Antonio Conte, parts of the squad and the club.

The report details how the Lecce born coach has repeatably highlighted how the club would prefer to sign younger players with a more long-term view in mind, whilst the former Chelsea and Juventus boss would prefer to sign more experienced players, like Arturo Vidal or Edin Dzeko.

The club’s work in the transfer market seemingly confirms this, with the team looking to sign other young talents like Sandro Tonali and Marash Kumbulla, rather than looking at Conte’s list of Vidal, Dzeko and potentially Jan Vertonghen.

Some within the club are keen on Conte’s methods and public statements, the report continues, with some players highlighting how they’ve had to ask the coach for a lower level of physical training after suffering muscle problems.

The club, however, have no interest in dismissing him, especially because of his large contract. Things would be different, though, if he received an offer from a different club.
