Therefore, Inter took the decision to sell the 33-year-old this summer, just one year after he had arrived.
There were numerous clubs to show an interest in Taremi.
These ranged from Premier League clubs like Fulham and Leeds United to Brazilian clubs Botafogo and Flamengo.
However, it is Greece where Taremi will in fact be playing his football next season.
Olympiacos agreed a deal with Inter in the last few days. Then, they also reached an agreement with the player.
And Taremi himself has confirmed the move.
