Official – Inter Milan Sell Striker Mehdi Taremi To Olympiacos

Inter Milan have sold striker Mehdi Taremi to Olympiacos.

The Nerazzurri officially announce the 33-year-old Iranian international’s departure on their homepage. He leaves just one season after arriving from Porto.

Inter Milan signed striker Mehdi Taremi last summer on a free transfer after his contract with Porto expired.

The Iranian joined the Nerazzurri on a two-year deal. Additionally, Inter had the option of extending Taremi’s contract a further season.

However, Taremi never managed to make the expected impact in an Inter shirt.

The 33-year-old scored just three goals all season in his first campaign at the club.

Therefore, it did not necessarily come as a surprise that Inter decided to offload Taremi at the end of the season.

There were quite a few clubs that showed an interest in signing Taremi throughout the transfer window.

Initial interest came from Turkey, and in particular Besiktas.

From the Premier League, both Fulham and newly-promoted Leeds United both reportedly eyed up a deal for the Iranian.

Meanwhile, Botafogo and Flamengo both tried to bring Taremi to Brazil. However, the player wanted to stay in Europe instead.

In the last couple weeks of the transfer window, the likes of PSV, Lille, Lyon, and Panathanaikos also showed an interest in Taremi’s signature.

Meanwhile, Sassuolo reportedly offered the Iranian an opportunity to stay in Serie A.

However, it is Olympiacos who have managed to complete a deal for Taremi before the transfer window closes.
