Antonio Conte will be paid out by Chelsea if he returns to Juventus.

Conte was sacked by Chelsea last summer despite still having a year on his £9m-a-season contract, says the Daily Express.

The Italian, who won three Serie A titles between 2011-14 in charge at Juventus, has been out of work since leaving Chelsea.

The Blues have been paying his wages until his contract runs out.

And it appears as though they will fulfil the entirety of that deal before Conte potentially heads to Juve.

Current Juventus manager Massimo Allegri looks set to leave the club at the end of this season – and the Italian giants want Conte and club legend Andrea Pirlo back as his replacements.
