Conte wants Chelsea stay - and new left-back signing

Antonio Conte wants to stay with Chelsea next season - and is already planning for the summer market.

That's according to RAI Sport, which reports the Blues manager intends to fulfill the final year of his contract at Chelsea.

Conte also has plans in place to strengthen his flagging squad, with Bayern Munich fullback Juan Bernat on the agenda.

There's an acceptance at Chelsea that Marcos Alonso will cash in on his form this season and return to Spain, where both Real Madrid and Barcelona are in contact.

With Emerson Palmeiri ready to step up to replace Alonso, Conte has recommended Bernat's signing as cover for the Brazil international.
