Lukas Podolski always knew he wouldn’t be in Inter’s Europa League squad, said his agent.
The striker arrived from Arsenal in January, but Xherdan Shaqiri was the one picked to join the UEFA list.
“We are not surprised, as it was clear from the start that he wasn’t going to participate in the Europa League,” agent Nassem Touihri told German newspaper Bild.
“Both parties had discussed it very clearly. The priority for him is Serie A.”

Only one player who had previously taken part in the Champions League for another club could be added to the Europa League list and Inter opted for Shaqiri.
