Antonio Conte has demanded some terms and he will refuse to extend his contract with the club before his requests are met. He wants from Chelsea board to sugn Timoe Bakayoko from Monaco, Lukaku  from Everton and Sandro from Juventus during the summer transfer period to prepare for next season's Champions League.According to news reports today, Chelsea are close to extending the contract of the Italian coach, raising his salary to 10 million pounds a year, while Conte is currently receiving 6.5 million pounds sterling

I think Conte is just pissing on his territory, letting Abramovich know he wants money & a lot of it. Chelsea will spend a lot, I have no doubt about that, they always do. They're in the CL this season too so need a bigger squad with more games

Maybe he shouldn't piss too hard because there's a manager who's looking for a new job that's a perfect fit to replace him.  If I was Abramovic, and Conte throws a fit, I'd replace him with this guy in a heart beat.  Read below.  Enjoy!  Wink

I am convinced that Chelsea will make at least 3-4 big purchases this year and will be one of the favorites in champion's league.
 Conte  wants Bonucci and Alex Sandro in defense, Babayoko midfield and a great striker: Lukaku or Lewandowski.
With these purchases Conte would have a very strong team
all the players that is mentioned is possible to see in Chelsea Shirt next season exept Lewandowski as Bayern Munich have threatened to go to FIFA if clubs approach Robert Lewandowski. With Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly held talks with Lewandowski looking to snatch him as some news saying that he is not happy with Bayern and was upset over Carlo Ancelotti as he is not supporting him enough Lewandowski have his contact runs to 2021 so he does not have nothing strong to push for a move out.

I think that even if they manage to get Lewandowski into Premier League, he won't be as good as he is in Germany. English football is more physical and harsh. The defenders will probably cut him off passes and will literally push him around. I'm not sure he wants to risk an injury or his position in the world as a top striker. In Spain however he would beat probably every shooting record.

As Manchester United is now on the way of getting his old glory back, being a part of this reborn and having possibility to become a club legend may be luring for Lewandowski. They will be playing in Champions League also, so in terms of trophies or teammates I think he is willing to give it a try. I doubt he wants to stay in Germany for the rest of his career.
