Lamela had started for Spurs during their recent 2-1 defeat to Inter in the first round of matches of the UEFA Champions League. But it is understood by us that if not for certain things, Lamela would have been playing against Spurs on Tuesday,
The Argentine winger was offered to Inter in March when Inter were drawing up plans for the summer transfer window. This was the time when Walter Sabatini was at the club and hadn't left.
But as soon as Sabatini left Inter, the club's transfer strategies and priorities changed and especially since Spurs were demanding a fee of 35 million euros, Inter decided to pursue other players of the same position and ended up signing Matteo Politano and Keita Balde.
Lamela, we understand, would have been keen on a move to the San Siro.
