Tottenham coach Antonio Conte and head coach Fabio Paratici are in Italy for a crucial transfer summit as the club outlines its summer signing strategy.
Numerous sources claim that there is now little concern behind the scenes at the Spurs that Conte is taking the drastic step of leaving this summer after the club has qualified for the Champions League.
Conte and Paratici are currently in Turin and will meet to discuss the club’s transfer plans at length amid the feeling that the former Chelsea manager will be in charge next season.

Sportsmail understands that Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni is the club’s number one target
It is understood that Conte arrived in Italy earlier in the week for his summer vacation. Paratici was in Italy on Monday, but returned to London before returning to his homeland to meet the head coach in Conte.
Tottenham have already begun to make firm inquiries into the players as they seek to fully support Conte’s vision amid concerns that he may leave the club if he is not convinced by his commitment to strengthening the squad.
Conte wants a new power plant; Sportsmail understands that Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is the club’s first candidate in this position. Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Red Bull Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol are alternatives.
Tottenham will complete a deal for Fraser Forster with a free transfer. It is understood the goalkeeper, who will leave Southampton next month, has already completed his medical examination. He will support the number 1 Hugo Lloris.
Middlesbrough winger Djed Spence, on loan at Nottingham Forest, is interested in Tottenham, as is Eintracht Frankfurt winger Filip Kostic.

The future of Inter winger Ivan Perisic is also being monitored. Wolves striker Adama Traore, who turned down Tottenham on loan at Barcelona in January, is back on target.
It is also understood that Allan Saint-Maximin is interested in Tottenham, but getting him out of Newcastle will be difficult. The Spurs are also monitoring Richarlison’s future at Tottenham.
Conte and Paratici will also be looking to bring down several marginal club players this summer.
Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn, Sergio Reguilon Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon are among the players with an uncertain future.
