Conte is willing to take over for Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri, who is under pressure and can lose his job as a result of the Old Lady’s poor Serie A performance this year with just two victories in seven games, according to sources in Italy last week.

Additionally, Conte’s contract predicament at Tottenham, where his current agreement expires next summer, is allegedly encouraging to the Italian powerhouses.

However, Conte who joined Spurs in November 2021 and later helped them qualify for the Champions League, has denied the rumors coming from his native Italy.

The 53-year-Old Said: “This is incredible, in this period I think this is disrespectful for the coach that works in Juventus and for me working in Tottenham.

“We have just started the season. Many times I have spoken about this topic and I’ve always said I’m happy and enjoying my time with Tottenham.

“We have the whole season to find the best solution for the club and for me, and for sure, I’m enjoying my time at Tottenham.

“I have a great relationship with the owner and [Fabio] Paratici [Spurs managing director of football]. I don’t see any problems at the moment in the future. We both signed the contract.

“I don’t want to listen to someone speaking about this [speculation].”

What did Conte say regarding Richarlison’s racial harassment?

After the break, Conte’s team will play their next game against rivals from north London, Arsenal, on Saturday. During the break, Tottenham forward Richarlison was the target of racial slurs while playing for Brazil.

FIFA has launched an investigation into the incident, which occurred during Brazil’s friendly victory over Tunisia on Tuesday in Paris. A banana was thrown at the 25-year-old during the game which is a racist gesture.
