Ranieri 'not convinced' that Conte wants to leave Chelsea

Ranieri 'not convinced' that Conte wants to leave Chelsea

Claudio Ranieri doesn’t believe that Antonio Conte will leave Chelsea.
 
The former Juventus and Italy manager has long threatened to return to Italy, though some suspect that this may have something to do with his desire to earn a better deal.
 
Speaking to the Gazzetta, Ranieri said that he “wasn’t convinced” by these stories.
 
“The Premier League remains the top, and I’m not convinced by Conte’s homesickness.”
 
Ranieri won the Premier League title in miraculous fashion two seasons ago with Leicester City, but was rewarded by being sacked the following season.
 
The Tinkerman then delved straight into what could be the crux of the matter, namely the transfer market.
 
“Maybe he [Conte] was expecting a different transfer campaign, but for a few years now [Roman] Abramovich hasn’t been doing crazy spending.
 
“Manchester United and Manchester City have made great signings, so I imagine it’s more draining for Antonio to be fighting on two fronts with the same players.”
