If the club is to fire him, they’ll need to pay €10m as a penalty, but above all he is irritated that the club continues to negotiate with other Coaches without telling him anything about his own situation.
Conte is also said to be concerned that the work ethic of the Real Madrid squad and their focus on star names would not suit his approach.
Other alternatives include Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri and Tottenham Hotspur's Mauricio Pochettino.
