Inter are keen on offloading Taremi , after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign which saw the attacker score just three goals in 43 games in all competitions.

Mehdi Taremi signed for Inter from Porto in 2024 on a free transfer after the player’s contract with the Portuguese club expired.

In his first season with the Nerazzurri , the 32-year-old scored just one goal in 26 Serie A games – albeit registering 3 assists – across 805 minutes of football. The forward scored one goal in the Champions League and assisted four in the competition.

In all, a disappointing season in Italy for Taremi has led the club to consider his sale – despite two years remaining on his contract. The Iranian is not present with Inter in their Club World Cup squads due to a situation in his home country.
