Tottenham could take Antonio Conte to court amid PSG latest – expert
Tottenham could take Antonio Conte to court if he has “offered himself” to PSG.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
As per The Times’ Gary Jacob (24 April), Conte, 52, is interested in replacing Mauricio Pochettino at PSG.
A La Parisien report from earlier that day claims the former Spurs boss is on the brink of losing his job despite sealing the Ligue 1 title with a 1-1 draw against Lens on Sunday.
That same report claims the Italian has “offered himself” to PSG.
Wenham insists that if this is the case then Conte could be taken to court by Tottenham.
“If the story is true, that Conte has offered himself, I’m not sure how that would work,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He’s under contract and under British contract law. So if this was the case I would hope Tottenham fight this in the civil courts.
“PSG would be made to pay some sort of fee because has a year left on his contract and he’s under contract law.
“I want him to stay. I want to see what he can do with Fabio Paratici in the summer.
“This shouldn’t end up in the courts but if that report is true then something will have to be done because Conte would be in breach of contract.”
Conte has been Spurs manager since 2 November.
He has won 17 of his 31 games in charge.
