Last summer, Gianluca Scamacca was trying to find a way out from West Ham United after just one year there, and eventually found it with Atalanta.
The striker was linked with a number of other Italian clubs such as AS Roma and Inter Milan, with the latter eventually deciding against a move and spending their money on Benjamin Pavard instead.
Corriere dello Sport have an article on the French defender and the Italian striker, pointing out how the Serie A side are happy with their move to forego the signing of the then West Ham player.
At Inter, ?no one regrets the turning point? last summer when the choice was made, especially when taking into consideration how both players have fared since their transfers.
Pavard has become a key member of Inzaghi?s plans in recent weeks, starting the last six league games, which have all been wins, while Scamacca is being criticised left, right and centre since his arrival from West Ham. Corriere explain the Italy international was ?one step away? from moving to Inter, but Atalanta?s decision to raise the stakes to ?30m led them to move away from the deal and focus on the transfer of Marko Arnautovic.
Spending just ?4m up front on him allowed them to get Pavard, and it seems they are incredibly happy to have dodged the expensive bullet that Scamacca appears to currently be for Atalanta after his West Ham exit.
