Mehdi Taremi getting closer to Inter's

Mehdi Taremi to Inter

Inter Milan is getting closer to signing the first Iranian in the club’s history, Mehdi Taremi. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, after a period of uncertainty and negotiations, it seems that the player has confirmed his priority for Milan, Nerazzurri side, rejecting other offers from Turkey and Arabia.

Taremi is currently in Qatar to participate in the Asian Cup with Iran, but he has already informed his current club, Porto, that he will not renew his contract expiring in June. Inter seems interested in him as a possible alternative to the current attack and would be willing to offer him a three-year, €3 million-a-year deal, with the possibility of “opting out” a season in advance. The lack of the Growth Decree could make the deal a bit more expensive, but it does not seem to be an insurmountable obstacle for Inter.

Taremi is known for his ductility as a striker, able to play both as a first and second striker, which could make him a valuable addition to Inter’s offensive department. In addition, he has expressed his intention to start the process of obtaining EU status in Portugal once he completes five years of fiscal residence in the country, which could also give him European citizenship.
