What happened: Yahoo Soccer cited Turkish reports claiming two Fenerbahce presidential candidates approached Antonio Conte about the manager's job. The report says Conte is demanding at least €15 million in wages plus a €5 million bonus and is expected to be a free agent this summer.
Why it matters: The figure would make Conte an expensive centerpiece in Fenerbahce's presidential race, where coaching plans can become part of campaign positioning. It also extends the uncertainty around Antonio Conte's next job after a turbulent end to his latest spell in Italy.
By the numbers: Reported package: €15 million minimum salary plus a €5 million bonus, for €20 million in potential annual compensation. The signal says two Fenerbahce presidential candidates approached Conte.
What to watch: Watch for confirmation from Conte's camp or the Fenerbahce candidates. Any formal offer would clarify whether the reported bonus is tied to a title, European qualification or another target.
