The Italy manager, who will take charge of the club after Euro 2016, is said to have visited Cobham on Tuesday afternoon with technical director Michael Emenalo, according to the Daily Mail, as he seeks a series of meeting with a number of senior players.
John Terry, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Nemnaja Matic are all linked away from Chelsea next season - for one reason or another - and Conte, 46, wants to speak to them all to decide on their futures.
Club legend John Terry, 35, has still not been offered a new deal and his future at the club now hangs on the former Juventus manager.
Eden Hazard, whose form has spectacularly fallen off just a year since being named the Premier League Player of the Year, has been continually linked with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, with some reports indicating he no longer wants to stay at Stamford Bridge.
Diego Costa is said to want a return to Atletico Madrid, while Nemanja Matic has grown frustrated this season after falling down the pecking order behind John Obi Mikel - the Serbian has also been in awful form all season.
Chelsea have already been linked with big-money moves for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku and Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, with Conte expected to shake-up a squad that has underperformed and grown stale.
