What Gasperini said
In a conversation with Gazzetta, per Fabrizio Romano, Gasperini said that he received a significant offer from a Premier League club recently.

“I’ve received an important proposal from a Premier League club in the recent days, weeks.”

“I can’t accept and leave Italy now; I feel good here and I’m planning my future here with Atalanta.”
The Europa League title was Gasperini’s first-ever title in 21 years of management; however, he had led Atalanta to remarkable relative success.
He took the Bergamo-based club to their first-ever Champions League campaign in the 2019/20 season, when they reached the quarterfinals.
He repeated the feat for the following two seasons, however, with decreasing success, stopping in the Round of 16 in 2020/21 and crashing out in the group stage of 2021/22.
