Inter Milan remain hot on the heels of Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund, but that doesn’t seem to bother Mehdi Taremi.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Iran international is keen to stay at the San Siro despite an underwhelming first season.
Though Mehdi Taremi joined the Nerazzurri as one of Europe’s most lethal goal-getters after a superb stint at Porto.
However, the 32-year-old has never found his footing in Serie A. Indeed, he only netted one league goal in his first year in Italy.
Therefore, his summer exit is a distinct possibility.
Mehdi Taremi Wants to Stay Despite Inter Milan Pursuit of Hojlund & Bonny
Unfazed by a lack of first-team opportunities, Taremi is not thinking about leaving Inter.
Yet, his situation could soon become more complicated.
Indeed, the Serie A runners-up are eager to add Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund to their ranks this summer.
The former is a realistic target. Parma are open to letting him go for a reported fee of up to €25 million.
Meanwhile, the Dane would command a higher price tag, with Manchester United asking for around €40m for their flop.
Nonetheless, Inter want them both, which would significantly derail Taremi’s playing time next term.
Taremi should stay. Inter should not spend money to buy raw strikers. Instead of buying raw strikers, Inter should use its own raw striker, Pio Esposito, who also is a bigger talent. Taremi can serve an experienced option to Pio Esposito on the bench.
