Report: Levy will be ‘straight on the phone’ to 49-year-old if Conte quits Spurs
The Telegraph have claimed that Daniel Levy will be ‘straight on the phone’ to Mauricio Pochettino if Antonio Conte departs Tottenham in the summer.
Conte’s assertion to Sky Italia this week that Tottenham may have ‘weakened’ their squad rather than strengthening it in January has created quite a stir.
The Sun revealed this week that Harry Kane is also seeking assurances that Conte will be backed in the summer transfer window before signing a new contract with the club.
This has now been backed up by The Telegraph, who claim that Spurs have already failed with one offer to tie Kane down to a new contract since his failed move to Manchester City last summer.
The report asserts that the striker might push for a move at the end of the season if the Tottenham head coach is not backed.
It is also explained that while Conte was warned that he would not have big money to spend at Spurs, the former Inter Milan boss ‘backed himself to do well enough’ up to January to convince Levy and Tottenham that it may be worth speculating to accumulate.
It is asserted that Levy will pick up the phone to call Pochettino if the 52-year-old decides to leave but it is suggested that Spurs may face difficulties in bringing the Argentine back as he is also of interest to Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Spurs Web Opinion
There are several giveaways in this article by Matt Law that points to the fact that this is based on pure conjuncture rather than fact.
One of them is the fact that it is Fabio Paratici who now calls the shots regarding the footballing decisions, including appointing managers.
He is the man who appointed both Nuno and Conte and it is he who will decide who to turn to if Conte leaves the club.
I also think media outlets are overplaying the possibility of Conte walking away in the summer.
