“I’ll go to London to talk to Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti, we won’t have to wait too long,” he told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera.
“We have the best researchers, best chiefs and also the best coaches in the world.
“We can’t make mistakes. I think I’ll have to move quickly. I’ll go to London to talk to Conte. Ancelotti’s also there.”
Simeone snubs Blues
