Hidden clause in Tottenham Hotspur contract revealed as Antonio Conte begins PSG talks

According to the Italian news outlet Calciomercato via HITC (h/t The Sun), Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has opened talks with PSG over a potential move this summer with the help of a hidden clause in his contract. This update would be of concern to those at North London as they are looking to build a new project after years of stagnation.

Conte will be in the final year of his current deal with Tottenham at the end of this season. Not even six months have passed since he took over the job at N17, and now it seems that he is in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a move in the summer transfer window. The boss himself is apparently interested in moving to the French capital despite his signing for Spurs recently.

It is stated that there is an exit clause in the Italian coach’s contract, which can be activated after th2 2021/22 season. The English club will not be able to prevent the manager from triggering the option should he decide to go through with his interest to move to the Ligue 1 club.

Doubtful

It would have been worrying signs for us if we had only looked at this update by ignoring the entire context of the matter. After all, we would not want to lose one of the best coaches in world football who can uplift our quality and give us a genuine chance to challenge for trophies if properly backed.

As such, the revelation of the exit clause and the 52-year-old manager being in contact with the French heavyweights will have caused real concern for us. That being said, we have received confirmation from the boss himself that he is fully committed to the cause and will fulfil his contract with us.

As such, we can most likely rule out this piece of information about the former Inter Milan man being keen on moving to the Parc des Princes. That being said, we are unsure of the exit clause that is mentioned in this news and whether it is actually in his contract or not.

Even if such an option is there, we should not be worried about it since the Spurs boss is happy with life so far. Things could change if he is not properly backed, or there is a turn in the tide for the worse if the players fail to meet his demands in the remaining few months.

After all, those who have followed Conte at his previous clubs would know that he does not hold back in any way possible. He is very straightforward and would openly express his displeasure if he runs into any. We have seen that happen as well but let’s hope that we do not run into such issues in the future.

That would reduce the risk of a departure but let’s wait and see how this situation would pan out moving forward. We are optimistic about the project we are building under Conte, and it would be baffling to see him leave under the current circumstances.
