Napoli boss Antonio Conte has officially decided to continue his project with the Partenopei after reaching a full agreement with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, ending speculation over his future and setting the stage for an ambitious summer rebuild.
According to close sources, Conte was convinced to stay after De Laurentiis presented a compelling long-term vision that includes a significant transfer budget, improved player recruitment strategy, and a salary increase for the coach himself. Formal steps are now underway to finalize the paperwork and make the renewed deal official.
One of the major talking points in Conte’s new plan is the club’s aggressive pursuit of world-class reinforcements, with Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne identified as a top priority signing. Napoli are reportedly preparing to make a strong push for the Belgian playmaker, who is seen as the centerpiece of Conte’s tactical evolution and a statement of intent to compete at the highest level both in Serie A and the Champions League.
Conte, who took charge of Napoli in 2024, had been linked with several other managerial positions in recent weeks, including a possible return to the Premier League. However, Napoli moved swiftly to secure his commitment, offering assurances that match his competitive ambitions.
The Italian tactician is said to be enthusiastic about the renewed backing from the club, and talks have already begun to identify other key signings to bolster the squad ahead of the new season. With De Bruyne leading the list, other experienced players are also expected to arrive as Napoli aims to build a squad capable of challenging for silverware on all fronts.
The confirmation of Conte’s stay comes as a huge boost to Napoli fans, who feared another summer of uncertainty. Instead, the club appears poised to embark on one of the boldest transfer windows in recent memory led by a manager hungry for trophies and determined to restore Napoli to the summit of Italian and European football.
