Conte, addressing the media on Friday, however insisted that a player’s desire to join a club, is more important than speaking to the coach.
Barkley reportedly snubbed a move to Chelsea on deadline day during his medicals.
“If a player has great desire to play for a great club, he signs.
“Sometimes it’s important for the manager to speak to a player before he signs. Other times it’s not. Yes (I have signed players without speaking to them).
“I don’t want to speak about my English experience. But when I was at Juventus, players signed for Juventus. Not for the manager.” Conte stated.
