Antonio Conte is ready to wreck Chelsea plans for Mateo Kovacic.

On-loan from Real Madrid, Kovacic's form this season has convinced Chelsea to seek a permanent deal for the midfielder.

However, Tuttosport says former Blues manager Conte is also keen.

And wherever he ends up next season, Conte wants his new club to sign Kovacic, who can be bought outright for €30m.

Conte has been linked with Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan in recent days.
