Iran’s assistant coach: “I have spoken with him, he feels ready to take the next step.”
After Frattesi and Thuram in the summer, we are ready to witness another transfer-market derby between Inter and Milan. On the table; Mehdi Taremi, Porto’s Iranian striker, whose contract expires in June 2024. Don’t forget He was very close to joining Milan last August, but now he has decided on something else.
As reported by ‘Sport Mediaset’, the future of the 31-year-old could lie in Milano, but on the other side of the city. “I have talked to him about the future,” commented Rahman Rezaei, Iran’s assistant national team coach. “He really likes to move to Inter.”
In the summer, the agreement that seemed to have been reached with the Rossoneri fell through at the last minute for various financial reasons. However, now there is also strong interest from Inter. According to Rezaei, the Nerazzurri option is the one that excites Taremi the most: “When a Champions League finalist is interested in you, all other teams take notice and wonder why.”
The Porto striker, whose contract expires at the end of the season, and who can negotiate with any new club starting from January 1, seems inclined to wear the ‘Nerazzurri‘ shirt:
“I’ve told him about the market rumors regarding Inter,” Rezaei said to Sportitalia, “and he really likes the idea. It’s time to leave Porto, and take the next step, immediately in January if the opportunity arises.”
The Iranian could form a striking partnership with Lautaro Martinez or Thuram: “He can do very well playing alongside Lautaro; I can see him fitting in around him.” Rezai concluded.
