Antonio Conte has sensationally blocked Chelsea’s move to sign Barcelona and Brazil superstar Neymar, according to reports.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport claims Blues owner Roman Abramovich had even agreed a £155.5million fee with the Catalan giants to sensationally bring the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge.
Conte looks set to win the Premier League title in his first season at the club and he is already planning for the next campaign and their likely return to the Champions League.
Conte, 47, feels Neymar would not suit his style of play and, despite being keen to bolster his squad, he first wants to reduce numbers before making additions.
