Juventus are eyeing up a shock move for Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi if their top target Antonio Conte stays at Napoli.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Messaggero, via FCInterNews. They report that Bianconeri owner John Elkann would be ready to give the Inter coach a call.

Juventus look set for another summer of big changes.

After the unsuccessful tenure of Thiago Motta as Bianconeri coach and then the narrow qualification for the Champions League under Igor Tudor, the Turin giants will search for a new coach.

Reportedly, Antonio Conte is the top target for the Juventus bench.

There have been rumours for months that Conte could leave Napoli after just a season in charge. And in that event, Juventus would be ready to pounce.

Juventus Eye Up Shock Inzaghi Move If Conte Stays At Napoli

However, Il Messaggero notes, there is no guarantee that Conte will be available this summer.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has been trying to convince the former Inter, Chelsea, and Juventus coach to remain at the club.

Conte has not yet made a final decision. However, if he does decide to remain in Naples, it will leave Juventus looking elsewhere.

And according to Il Messaggero, one truly shock option could be a swoop for Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.

Inzaghi would certainly be a proven and high-profile option. And Inter would be far from keen to allow their coach to join bitter rivals Juventus, putting it mildly.

However, Inzaghi’s future at the Nerazzurri has been in some doubt in recent weeks. Particularly after the massive money offer from Al-Hilal.

Therefore, report Il Messaggero, Juventus owner Elkann could look to capitalize on this uncertainty. He would be ready to sound out a shock move for Inzaghi.
