Not Only Napoli – Sarri Torn Between Two Offers as He Prepares to Leave Lazio | OneFootball

Maurizio Sarri is widely expected to leave Lazio in the coming days, and his next destination will likely be either Napoli or Atalanta.

The 67-year-old returned to the Italian capital club last summer, but he has been at odds with club president Claudio Lotito since the start of the season. The two men have repeatedly traded barbs in the press, as their turbulent collaboration should come to an end sooner rather than later.

Sarri’s imminent departure has also been confirmed by Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, who has a special rapport with the Tuscan manager. The two parties should soon meet to reach an agreement on the contract termination.

Sarri Has a Concrete Offer From Napoli

Sarri has emerged as the favorite to take over from Antonio Conte, who is on his way out of Napoli. Pedulla reveals that the Partenopei have indeed offered him a two-year contract and a net salary of €2.7 million per season plus bonuses tied to the league and Champions League.

While Sarri is tempted to return to Naples, where he enjoyed three golden years between 2015 and 2018, he has yet to make up his mind, as he also has another offer from Atalanta.

Giuntoli Wants Sarri Reunion at Atalanta

As Pedulla explains, the Orobici have chosen Cristiano Giuntoli as their next sporting director. He will arrive in Bergamo along with his longtime right-hand man, Giuseppe Pompilio. The journalist reveals that Sarri shares an excellent relationship with the two men from their time together at Napoli.

The source adds that Giuntoli is planning to replace Raffaele Palladino from the outset, and has already contacted Sarri, inviting the latter to join him at Atalanta. Therefore, the Lazio head coach will take some time to reflect on his future, but he’ll have to decide in the coming days.
