Antonio Conte is reportedly close to taking over as manager of Victor Osimhen's Napoli and could be reunited with his former striker.

Antonio Conte is reportedly on the brink of securing his first managerial position since parting ways with Tottenham Hotspur over a year ago.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Conte will sign a contract with Napoli within the next week as the club look to bounce back from a disappointing season.

There will be a fallout from the season, and Victor Osimhen is expected to depart this summer.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira has revealed that Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku would love to reunite with his former Inter Milan boss.

Roma are unlikely to make the striker's loan permanent, and a return to Chelsea has been ruled out, leaving the door open to a transfer to Napoli.
