Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has insisted that money will not determine whether he extends his stay at the club or not.
Reports in Italy on Thursday morning said Conte had met with Inter Milan’s sporting director, with a view to becoming their new head coach.
Conte, who is on the brink of leading the Blues to the Premier League title in his first season, says: “I have a contract with Chelsea, for two years. It is logical when you start the work in a new club, the will is to continue to work for many years. For sure this is my will.
“Now the most important thing is to reach our target, because to arrive at this moment and have a great opportunity we have worked very hard. Now we need to be ready and do this step and to win and celebrate.”
He added: “When you reach a type of level the money could be important, but it is not all. When you stay at this level the money only explains your value, it is not important.
“You work in football as a footballer, stay at the top level for many years, then become a top coach I don’t think money is as important. It is important to win and to write the history of the club. Money is important, but not all.
“I repeat what I said before, I have a contract, two years with Chelsea, but also I like to repeat for me and my players is to be focused in the moment, the moment is very important.
“It is not important the single person now, me the players, we must be focused on the moment. It is normal to have a lot of speculation, on me the players the coaches, we can’t lose the focus, now it is very important.”
