Conte has cut a frustrated figure at Stamford Bridge this season with much of his anger aimed at the club’s transfer strategy in the summer.

Alvaro Morata, Danny Drinkwater, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger, Davide Zappacosta and Willy Caballero all arrived at Chelsea at the start of the season.

But the club also allowed 10 stars to leave permanently while a whole host of squad players were sent out on loan.

It left Conte short of options heading into the campaign as they aimed to defend their Premier League title as well as competing in the Champions League.

There have also been rumours suggesting Eden Hazard could be on his way out of the club with Real Madrid upping their interest.

Conte warned his club to do what they can to keep hold of the Belgium international.

But Todomercadoweb claim the Italian coach will look to leave Chelsea in the summer with Paris Saint-Germain touted as possible destination.

Luis Enrique has been out of work since leaving Barcelona at the end of last season

And the report states Chelsea have set their sights on bringing former Barcelona coach Enrique.

The 47-year-old left his role at Barcelona at the end of last season and decided to take a year-long sabbatical.

However, he is expected to want to return to management after the current campaign and it seems Chelsea are making an early move to tempt him into a move to the Premier League.
