Antonio conte has agreed to join Barcelona, but he won’t wait too long

Antonio Conte has agreed to join Barcelona, but only if Chelsea do not strike a deal with Sevilla soon, reports as.

Chelsea are making a final push for Antonio Conte and are willing to meet sevilla’s asking price of more than 60 million euros for the player, who is also a target for Barcelona. Chelsea are understood to have reached an agreement with Conte before, but the club’s pursuit of him, dricht, Ake, Skriniar and Coulibaly at the same time has not gone down well with conte.

As has revealed that conte would now prefer to join Barcelona if Chelsea or another big club do not strike a deal with Sevilla soon. But he won’t have to wait too long, and if the blues finalise a fee with seve soon, conte won’t be waiting for Laporta to activate a second lever to buy him.

Xavi is an admirer of Conte and wants the player, but Chelsea will now have to step up their pursuit of the French centre-back as their other targets are closing in on a move to bayern Munich, Skriniar is close to Paris and Coulibaly is in talks with Juventus.

Mendes met with new Chelsea owner John Burley in Portugal a few days ago to discuss a move for Conte. Sevilla are now waiting for funds to be secured for the sale of Conte and will use the money to finance several other deals.
