Iranian striker Taremi no longer in Inter Milan plans, eyes Botafogo move

After a disappointing season, Inter Milan is ready to part ways with Mehdi Taremi, with Brazilian club Botafogo showing interest

There is no longer space at Inter Milan for Mehdi Taremi: the Iranian striker, after a season far below expectations, has been shown the door by the Nerazzurri, who have decided to focus on other profiles to complete their forward line.

Taremi struggled to find form and consistent playing time under the current Inter Milan coaching staff, which has favored younger and more dynamic attackers. Despite his reputation as a proven scorer at Porto, the 31-year-old was unable to replicate his best performances in Serie A, leading the club to reassess their offensive options.

The objective now is to find a club willing to give the former Porto striker a new chance. 

Inter Milan awaits Botafogo’s official offer as negotiations for Taremi heat up

The latest lead, according to Sport Mediaset via Fcinter1908, comes from Brazil: Botafogo is interested and has already made initial contacts with the player’s entourage.

Botafogo’s potential signing of Taremi could boost their attack significantly, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season. 

The Brazilian club is known for giving international players an opportunity to relaunch their careers in South America.

Inter Milan remains waiting for an official offer: they start from a request of 10 million euro (£8.3m), a figure reflecting both Taremi’s experience and his recent struggles.

Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks as both clubs explore terms, with Taremi reportedly open to the move in search of more playing time and a fresh start.
