Sarri mulls higher Atalanta offer over Napoli return

The 66-year-old is torn between two paths: stepping into an already-built, competitive Atalanta side or returning to Napoli to launch a new cycle from scratch (1) (2). That is the heart of his reflection right now.
No decision yet. But being the higher bidder in a straight fight with Napoli is not nothing.
