Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta expects striker Mehdi Taremi to “make a big contribution” to the Nerazzurri next season.
Speaking to reporters, via FCInterNews, Marotta also made clear that Inter will be maintaining control of the future of Valentin Carboni when the Argentine goes out on loan to Marseille.
This summer, Inter are making a few notable transfers in attack. Both in and out.
Striker Mehdi Taremi has been a big name arrival for the Nerazzurri. The Iranian international joins on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Porto.
Taremi has been part of Inter’s preseason training camp from the very start.
And in just three friendly matches, the 32-year-old has already scored five goals.
Heading in the other direction is attacking midfielder Valentin Carboni.
The 19-year-old is close to joining French side Marseille on loan.
However, unlike last summer when Carboni joined Monza on loan, this will not just be a dry loan for the Argentine to gain experience.
Marseille will have a purchase option to make Carboni’s loan deal a permanent one.
However, reports also suggest that Inter will have a buyback option. They are planning to extend Carboni’s contract, and have the option to sign him right back if Marseille sign him on a permanent basis.
Inter President Beppe Marotta On Taremi & Carboni
First, Marotta gave his thoughts on new Inter striker Taremi.
“We’re happy with Taremi,” said the Nerazzurri President.
“I think that my colleagues Ausilio and Baccin acted very quickly to secure his services,” he went on.
Marotta said that “We’re very happy to have [Taremi] with us. I think he can make a big contribution.”
Meanwhile Marotta also addressed the situation of Carboni.
“We’re in talks with Marseille,” the Inter President made no efforts to hide.
“But I think it will be a temporary loan. We will always have his future under our control.”
