Chelsea announced on Monday that Conte will replace interim boss Guus Hiddink in July after Euro 2016.
But the 46-year-old will see out the remainder of his contract with Italy which expires at the end of this summer's European Championship.
However, Express Sport understands Conte met with club officials later on Monday to discuss potential transfer targets.
It fanned the flames of the fire in the Italian press that the national team manager is neglecting his duties ahead of Euro 2016.
But in fact Conte has already made it clear that he doesn't want to talk about Chelsea in case he is seen to have a conflict of interests.
