Conte remains a variant for `Santiago Bernabeu`

Santiago Solari will sit on Real Madrid`s coach for the match predicted by winning soccer predictions against Melilla from the King`s Cup today, while club president Florentino Perez continues to seek the heir of the sacked Julen Lopetegui. Antonio Conte was considered to be the almost certain new team mentor, but because of the players` attitude towards him and his high demands he subsequently dropped out as an option. However, according to the press, the Italian recruitment option remains up to date. The reason is that he is the only alternative to coach the team. The club does not rule out the permanent suspension of the season`s Solari by the end of the season if he can raise Real in the upcoming four games (against Melilla, Valladolid, Viktoria Plzen and Celta) before the break for the national teams.


Conte`s signing will be very difficult. There are a number of obstacles to its implementation. The first problem is in the contract. The former Chelsea champion sued the club for a penalty of 10 million euros for his late dismissal on July 12 - a few days after the start of pre-season training. His eventual arrival at Santiago Bernabeu would hinder these claims, and he wants Madrid`s annual salary of 10 million euros, while they are ready to offer him only 8 million euros. Also, there is a mismatch and within the term of the contract. Perez insists he is for this season and the next, and Conte wants to be longer - at least for this campaign and the next two.


The other problem is with the dressing room of the team. The captain Sergio Ramos sent a message to club bosses after the Camp Nou game: We`ve won everything with coaches you all know. I do not need to call them. Controlling the changing room is far more important than the coach`s technical knowledge.
These words have given rise to doubt in Conte, who wants assurances that he will be able to work freely and with the support of the players. They have also sidetracked the club, but the lack of candidates has yet returned the Conte option to the agenda, while the bosses watch carefully Solari`s work.
