Tottenham Hotspur will table a contract offer to Antonio Conte during the World Cup which the Italian could find hard to turn down, according to Journalist Enrico Camelio.
Conte, who has just celebrated a year in charge of the north Londoners has a contract that runs until the end of the current season, although the club have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.
Camelio has claimed that Conte is yet to sit down with Tottenham to discuss his future and will do so once the season is put on ice for the tournament in Qatar which begins on November 20th.
Football Insider reported last month that Tottenham are preparing to offer the former Inter Milan boss £20million a year to remain in charge, making him the best-paid manager in the Premier League.
Camelio told CalcioMercato’s TV Play: “Conte is yet to speak to Tottenham or Juventus. They will talk when the championship stops, this does not mean that he will stay, but there are good chances, the offer will be very high. If it is what I perceived it will be difficult to say no.”

The World Cup break represents the perfect time for both parties to discuss the direction of the club, Antonio Conte certainly holds most of the power to ensure that Daniel Levy and co are prepared to back him in multiple transfer windows if he is to put pen to paper on an extension.
The defeat at Forest last night only further highlighted just how poor the squad depth is at Tottenham with a number of players who have been there for years and need to be moved on, a certain Colombian defender being high on that list.
