The Italian is only under contract at Spurs until the end of the season and has previously suggested he was not the right man for the job.
While the situation has improved since, Standard Sport understands the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss is in no rush to commit his future.
Instead, Conte is more likely to wait and see how the January transfer window pans out in order to gauge the club’s ambitions.
For their part, Spurs are ready to try and secure the 53-year-old’s future by offering him a substantial pay rise, though they might not be enough.
Conte has kept his powder dry in terms of longer-term contracts at other clubs, in order to maintain pressure on club chiefs when it comes to recruitment strategy.
While the Spurs boss has confirmed the club are open to making signings in January, Conte refused to answer when asked if doubts over his future could impact their business.
“No, but I think I would like also in the future to not speak about this matter in the press conference because I think it is much more important the game we are going to play, in this case Brentford,” he said when the question was put to him.
