Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has reportedly told Paris Saint-Germain what it will take to persuade him to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as manager.
PSG are said to be considering parting ways with Pochettino despite wrapping up the Ligue 1 title with a 1-1 draw with Lens on Saturday following the club's failures in the French Cup and Champions League this season. Spurs boss Conte has been linked with the job, and is set to have set his demands in order to move to the French capital.
It comes as Spurs chief Daniel Levy is said to have been left irritated by the rumours Conte could leave the club. Reports have also suggested he could turn to Pochettino to replace Conte if the Italian does leave the club – and Levy's past comments about the Argentine have been uncovered.

Have your say! Will Antonio Conte leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer? Let us know what you think in the comments below
Levy's comments after sacking Pochettino
Daniel Levy said Mauricio Pochettino would 'always be welcome' in north London after sacking the Argentine in 2019.
Pochettino and his backroom staff were released by the club in November 2019 after an underwhelming start to the 2019/20 campaign – subsequently being replaced by Jose Mourinho. But the club failed to kick on under the Portuguese manager, replacing him with Nuno Espirito Santo last summer before appointing Conte in November last year.
Reports have suggested Pochettino could be lined up as Antonio Conte's successor if he is sacked by PSG and Conte replaces him at the Ligue 1 champions. And Spurs chairman Levy's past comments suggest a return to his former club could well be on the cards.
Levy 'irritated'
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly been left 'irritated' by rumours linking Antonio Conte with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Conte only arrived in north London a matter of months ago after the club ultimately lived to regret their decision not to meet his demands last summer, instead appointing Nuno Espirito Santo. Conte has helped lift Tottenham into the race for the final Champions League qualification spot in the Premier League, overseeing a dramatic improvement in the club's fortunes in just a small time in charge.
And reports now suggest the timing of speculation about Conte has been a source of frustration for Levy as he faces a battle to keep hold of his manager.
Conte 'sets demands'
Antonio Conte wants to become one of the best-paid managers in world football to take charge of Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.
The Italian has been linked with taking over at PSG this summer, and reports coming out of France suggest he has demanded a salary of around £25million to take the job. Conte has also asked the club to appoint Gianluca Petrachi as sporting director and dramatically cull a number of stars from the PSG squad.
And that's not all – as Conte has also demanded the club be active in the summer transfer window with a number of potential transfer targets having already been identified.
