Brother: 'No Real Madrid contract for Antonio Conte'

Real Madrid have not been in contact with Antonio Conte over their managerial position, according to the Italian's brother Daniele Conte.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Madrid had approached Conte as speculation surrounding the future of current Los Blancos boss Julen Lopetegui continues to gather pace.

Lopetegui will lead Madrid into Sunday's El Clasico, but the former Spain boss is expected to lose his job sooner rather than later, and Conte is believed to be the Spanish outfit's number one target.

The 49-year-old's brother, however, has insisted that there has not been any contact between the two parties.

"Antonio has not received any contact from Real Madrid, he is currently on holiday," Daniele Conte told Cadena Ser. "They are a great club but I cannot speak for him, but there has not been a phone call."

Conte is currently involved in a dispute with Chelsea after the Blues ended his time at the club a year before the end of his contract.
