Antonio Conte, called by Barcelona for the former Inter and Juventus coach. But he wants Serie A

Antonio Conte remains at the center of transfer rumours: the Salento coach is ready to return to the bench starting next season and many clubs are close to him.

An indiscretion comes from Spain according to which the Barcelona would have explored his availability to coach the Blaugrana club (Xavi has announced that he will end his experience on the bench on 30 June).

But, according to what fichajes.net reports the former Inter and Juventus coach would have answered no because he wants to return to coaching in Serie A.

On the Barcelona front, many names have been made due to Xavi's legacydo not underestimate the internal track: Rafa Marquez, former Blaugrana and Mexican national team defender, has been on the bench of Barça Atletic (the club's second team) since the summer of 2022 and many are convinced that he is ready to make the big leap (in recent days bookmakers had him as the favourite) . There was also talk of Thiago Motta, but the Bologna coach could remain in Serie A (Milan in the front row, watch out for Juventus if a renewal agreement is not reached with Allegri, expiring in 2025). Some rumors lead to Portuguese leads, Josè Mourinho or Sergio Conceição, at Barça: difficult hypotheses at the moment. Rumors have come from England Roberto De Zerbi (contract with Brighton until 2026 and also approached by Liverpool who say goodbye to Jurgen Kloop) and Mikel Arteta who is doing very well at Arsenal (Guardiola's pupil grew up in the Barcelona cantera) and is unlikely to leave the Gunners at the end of the championship. Complicated to think about the return of Luis Enriquemuch loved by Barcelona fans but tied by a contract with PSG.
