Inter Milan have reportedly decided against selling Mehdi Taremi but will listen to offers for Sebastiano Esposito.
Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Iran international is off the market despite his disappointing first season at San Siro.
Mehdi Taremi joined Inter as a free agent last summer, carrying a reputation as one of Europe’s most lethal strikers.
However, he only managed one Serie A goal in 2024/25.
Compounding matters is the fact his only strike came from the spot.
Yet, Inter will stick with the 32-year-old, though he’ll reportedly be a fourth choice in attack.
Inter Milan Unwilling to Sell Mehdi Taremi & Put Sebastiano Esposito on Transfer List
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will lead the line next season.
Meanwhile, Inter will try to sign two new center-forwards during the summer.
Parma’s Ange-Yoan Bonny and Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund are the club’s top targets.
On the other hand, someone will have to make room.
Despite Joaquin Correa’s exit and Marko Arnautovic’s impending departure, Inter will set free another striker.
Sebastiano Esposito is likely to fall victim to Inter’s need for cash.
really?
a 22 year old who scores 8 in league but they opted to stick with 32 year old who score just 1?
wow just wow
We need to keep these young Italian players. They need a chance to play at a top club. We can’t keep selling off these kids and keep old washed up foreign players. No wonder our national team is in disarray with madness like this shame on Italian football. Please inter keep these young Italian kids give them a try.
madness, taremi , correa, arnautovic all must go , better play with younger unknown than play them and sign hojlund before manc break his mental
Make it make sense inter management .. how do you keep an older floped player and then sell your younger player with prospect?
age is secondary.
the real issue with taremi is that his game is a pass-first agenda; he displayed almost zero scoring instinct.
his xG since moving to Portugal is between 15-20, it dropped to 7.9 in his last season (23/24, after strong rumors that inter are interested in him).
his xG at inter is a miserable 3.5
either he is seriously mis-managed, or his attacking instinct just straight up vanished.
