Conte clashed with the board all season having failed to win any silverware in 2019-20.
He famously lost his rag and attacked Zhang and Co after missing out on the Serie A title – claiming his players deserved more protection and recognition.
The Italian even hinted he would quit after their Europa League final loss to Sevilla.
Gazzetta dello Sport have now claimed Conte is set for a day of talks with the board as they line up former Juve chief Allegri to take his place.
Following last Friday’s loss, Conte – whose stress has been compounded after being scammed out of £27million – hinted at quitting.
‘EVERYTHING HAS ITS LIMITS’
He claimed: “It has been difficult and we’ll figure things out.
“It has been wonderful for me to be the coach of Inter, I thank the owners who allowed me to go through this great experience.
“If some situations end up affecting my family, that is no longer enough for me.
“Everything has its limits, I have to see where my limits are.

“We’ll clarify the situation, without rancour. Something happened, there’s no point beating around the bush.
“We have to see whether everyone is prepared to not have another year like this for what happened with me.
“There are a few situations I will evaluate, it’s only right the president evaluates it too… I’ll tell the directors my views.”
Immediately after the thrilling 3-2 loss to Sevilla, Zhang gave his vote of confidence to Conte ahead of their showdown talks.
Zhang claimed: “The evaluation is good. Our path has allowed us to get to a final and play in a historic match.
“We are playing really well, winning or losing is part of football but we came to the final full of confidence.
“We will rest, that’s what the players and the staff deserve.
“In the coming weeks and months we will talk about the future but what is certain is that we want to improve.
“It hasn’t worked out this time, but we’ll try again next year.
“That’s the beauty of sport – to try your best and try to improve.”
