Antonio Conte is willing to take over the reins at Inter Milan on the condition they make him the highest paid manager in the Serie A.


49-year old Conte is on the lookout for a new job after sitting out this season following his sacking by Chelsea in the summer.

The Italian has been linked with several top clubs but Inter are stepping up their interest in the former Juventus and Italy manager.

Inter president Steven Zhang has reportedly told general manager Beppe Marotta to bring Conte to the San Siro at all costs.

Conte is demanding to be paid £9m annual salary after tax which would make him the highest earning Manager in the Italian top flight.

If Inter give Conte what he wants then he would earn £2.5m more than Juventus' Massimiliano Allegri, who is currently Serie A's highest-paid manager.

Inter Milan are 27 points behind Italian Serie A toppers Juventus.
