Inter quickly found themselves one man short up front due to Marko Arnautovic suffering a severe thigh injury, and they are considering the possibility of pursuing Mehdi Taremi again in January in case the former Bologna centerpiece struggles in his recovery.
According to Sport (via OneFootball), the Nerazzurri wish to onboard a new striker to avoid a similar situation in the future. They extensively tracked the Iranian marksman, but Porto held firm on their demands. Milan also tried until the final day but failed to reach an agreement.
On the other hand, it’s improbable Inter will be successful in their intent if Os Dragoes keep asking €20/25M for Taremi. His contract currently expires in June 2024. The threat of a Bosman departure will be very concrete in January.
The 31-year-old is off to a slow start for his standards. He has netted just two goals in the first ten matches of the season across all competitions.
Our Take on Inter and Taremi
At some point, with no advancements on a renewal, Porto will have to lower their request to prevent an undesirable outcome. Considering Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez’s age and injury history, the Nerazzurri should seriously think about adding a new weapon in January. However, it’ll unlikely be a pricey one. They’d be better off with a youngster who wouldn’t pout if he had to ride the pine. The solution could be recalling one of their loanees.
