Lean towards Conte
Conte is out of work following his departure from Tottenham Hotspur in March, while Enrique is keen to return to club football following his spell with the Spanish national team.
De Laurentiis is desperate to lure Conte back to Serie A, where he has enjoyed great success, winning four Italian titles with Inter Milan and Juventus.

Big Salary Clash
Napoli are reported to have held several previous talks with Conte, but his move could be dependent on the Italian tactician changing his longtime tactical system.
Conte likes to play in a 3-4-3 formation, but he will have to switch to the back four that has been a hallmark of Napoli’s success story this season.
However, the coach’s huge wage demands could thwart a potential transfer with Napoli imposing a 7 million euro salary cap on their players and coach.
