The Denmark captain has been in Italy for less than a year following his €27m move from Tottenham Hotspur in January but the rumours are growing stronger that he won't be in Milan much longer.
The report indicates that Conte believes the two men do not understand each other and, as a result of that, their working relationship may be severed. While Eriksen's contract is set to last until the end of the 2023-24 campaign, PSG are tipped as his most likely destination -- potentially in a few weeks' time.
He is yet to play a full 90 minutes in Serie A this season and, speaking last month, said: "I don't want to sit the bench for the whole season. I hope this isn't the coach's or the club's intention. It is going to be a busy season, lot of games in [the] programme, I expect to play.!

08.30 GMT: Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilon has seen a drastic change in Gareth Bale since the two left Real Madrid to join Tottenham this summer.
"He's really happy. He seems different to me," Reguilon told El Larguero. "The language is everything for him. He speaks Spanish well, it's not bad, a bit like me in English. Communication, the habits, mean he's happier in England... I have no idea if he'll return (to Madrid).
"What most surprised me is at Tottenham's training ground there are golf holes. I asked and they told me they were put there for him! There are short holes, maybe 30 metres, in the training ground. I couldn't believe it. When training is finished, you can pick up a club and play!"
Reguilon has adapted well to Tottenham since his summer transfer from Real Madrid and said: "It's going very well with [Jose] Mourinho, honestly, it's fantastic. I love this type of coach: intense, demanding. I hope he doesn't get angry!"
Real Madrid included a buy-back option on Reguilon, with the defender revealing: "Madrid is my home and where I grew up. In the future you never know but the possibility is there."

The 17-year-old made the switch over to Camp Nou from Las Palmas for around €5m during the summer, and it's clear to see that the Spanish giants recognise the potential he holds as he started El Clasico against Real Madrid last month.
At the time, Barca beat Manchester City and Bayern Munich for his signature and now they want to keep him on the books for a long time.
While his release clause is partially intended to scare off any potential suitors, it's also an indication of just how highly the club rates him.
Juve to go back in for Emerson
Juventus could be set to make another push to sign Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri, Calciomercato reports.
There's been no route into the first team for Emerson under Frank Lampard this season and, with Juventus leading Inter Milan in the potential race to sign him, it's starting to appear as if they're gearing up for another surge.
