“We hope to continue to make a good impression. Gasperini? For me yes, there is no problem.” Antonio Percassi spoke to the reporters present at the Rosa Camuna Prize at the Pirellone. The key word is precisely the continuity of the coach who has explained, in recent days, that he will most likely remain at Atalanta. However, there is a question to which the Nerazzurri number one does not answer: “Is there still something to talk about?”, the choice is evasive and it is a goodbye.
This is because there is no agreement yet on the duration. Not so much on the figure that will see Gasperini overtake Inzaghi – at least for now – on the throne of the highest paid, waiting for Conte at Napoli. Gasperini would like a renewal until 2027, while on the table there is a proposal until 30 June 2026, with a possible option that Atalanta will use to extend his contract and lock him down.
Gasperini will receive around 5.3 million a year, a staggering figure even if the white smoke is really close, net of the next talks. In short, there was no possibility of making it official yet, but it certainly won’t be a problem, as Percassi himself said. After Fiorentina, in the last home match, there could be the official press release, perhaps after a final meeting to define the final (small) details.
