It was reported earlier in the campaign that Chelsea are very much interested in bringing Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci to Stamford Bridge.

Conte has informed Chelsea owner Abramovich that he wants Leonardo Bonucci and Paul Pogba.

Conte is a huge fan of the Italian and it seems that the Italian manager is very keen on bringing the defender to the club. However, with Juventus tracking the developments pertinent to Oscar, it has been reported that the Blues are ready to offer Oscar to the Italian club in exchange for Bonucci.

The Italian has been a key member of Allegri's squad and played an important role in the retaining of the Serie A this season. On the other hand, the progress of Oscar with Chelsea has hindered to a great extent. The Brazilian International has been poor this season and Conte believes the sale of Oscar would not affect the team.

However, the arrival of Bonucci would certainly prove to be a telling blow to club legend John Terry's future at the club. Terry has not been offered a new contract and Chelsea is currently waiting for the approval of Conte for the same.

The arrival of Bonucci would certainly mean that there would be no more future for Terry at his childhood club.

Andrea Pirlo recently spoke quite highly of his former Juventus manager Antonio Conte, who is currently linked with the managerial job at Chelsea.

Andrea Pirlo believes ‘beast’ Conte will be successful at Chelsea

Pirlo stated that Conte is a total football man and thinks about football 24/7. The former AC Milan star has worked with the Italy manager during his time at Juventus where Conte was able to make the Italian club as one of the best in the world.

Pirlo stated that there were times in the dressing room when the team was winning but the manager was not happy with certain mistakes and expressed his anger for the same. He added that his former boss was very passionate about the sport and has known Conte to be awake late in the night studying videos and the opposition.

The New York City FC midfielder also mentioned about Elisabetta, wife of Antonio Conte, stating that she is a very understanding woman.

Pirlo believes that the current Italy manager, who is on the brink of signing a three year deal with the Premier league champions, will certainly be successful during his time in London.

It seems Italian national team boss Antonio Conte is set to become the next Chelsea manager after reports revealing that personal terms have been agreed between the Italian and Chelsea.

Antonio Conte closing in on Chelsea deal

It has been reported that the only thing remaining for the deal to be completed is the approval of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. The former Juventus manager was one of the candidates shortlisted for the Chelsea job which included the likes of Diego Simeone, current Juventus manager Allegri and ex Chile boss Sampaoli.

However, it seems that Conte is set to join the Premier league champions after his tenure with the Italian national team. Conte would be leading the Azzuris into Euro 2016 after which is contract is due to expire.

It seems Conte has been learning English and is all geared up to come into the Premier league. The 46 year old made his name with Juventus and was instrumental in leading them back as one of Europe's heavyweights.

With Abramovich himself very keen to wrap up the managerial issue associated with his club, it seems only a matter of time that Conte would be confirmed as the one replacing interim manager Guus Hiddink.

It has been apparent according to recent reports that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is very much interested in Italy manager Antonio Conte and wants him to take over as Chelsea boss from Guus Hiddink.

Antonio Conte reportedly wants to sign Paul Pogba if he becomes Chelsea boss

According to reports, the current Italy manager has been in talks with the Chelsea management since Christmas. It seems that if Conte does get the job at Chelsea, his first priority would be the signing of his former player Paul Pogba. Conte has managed Pogba when he was at Juventus and has seen the midfielder develop into a world class player up close.

The former Manchester United midfielder has been on the radar of several European giants and it seems that the appointment of his former manager may lure the Frenchman to Stamford Bridge. It is widely expected that the Italian manager will join the Premier league champions after Euro 2016.

It is not a surprise that Conte would select the Juventus midfielder as his top summer signing. The arrival of Pogba would certainly strengthen the Chelsea midfield and it would be a statement of intent from the Blues.

However, the French midfielder would certainly not come for cheap. It is expected that a transfer fee of around £70 million would be required to lure the Frenchman from Juventus.

It seems that Italy manager Antonio Conte is very much interested in taking the managerial job of Premier league Champions Chelsea.

Antonio Conte to target £70m Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba if he becomes Chelsea manager

The Italian has been linked with the Chelsea job after the departure of Mourinho and is believed to be be interested in signing for the Premier league champions after the Euros.

The belief has risen from the fact that the former Juventus manager has declined an offer from the Italy Football Federation to renew his contract. It seems, Conte has already provided his future employers with the list of transfer targets for next season.

The top priority of the manager includes his former player Paul Pogba. Apart from Pogba, the list also includes Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez along with highly rated PSG midfielder Marco Verratti. Verratti has been tracked by various European clubs including the likes of Barcelona and it certainly seems that Abramovich would have to break the bank if he wants to sign these players.

Conte also wants to sign another PSG player in Ezequiel Lavezzi with the Argentine international out of contract this summer. However, Lavezzi has been attracting attention from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua and it may be probable that the PSG forward may go to China before Chelsea make a move.
