A few sides are hoping Mehdi Taremi ends up at Milan, as it would unlock multiple moves. The veteran is pushing to complete the switch to the Rossoneri, but Porto continue to put up strong resistance, even though he has just ten months left on his contract.
According to Alfredo Pedullà, the Italian side won’t raise their €15M offer, while Os Dragoes demand €10M more. A meeting between his agent, an intermediary, and the club didn’t lead to much progress concerning his departure. Coach Sergio Conceiçao and president Pinto da Costa are driving a hard bargain. The Portuguese outfit would get only a percentage of the sale due to previous clauses.
Milan will insist for Taremi until deadline day, wishing for a discount; otherwise, they’ll likely stand pat. Cagliari and Monza are watching the situation very closely. If the Rossoneri added a striker, Lorenzo Colombo would join the Brianzoli, while Andrea Petagna would transfer to Sardinia. The two operations have been arranged.
The two corresponding moves would be loans. The Rossoblù would have an option to buy the former Napoli center-forward. The last one could go through regardless.
Our Take on Milan and Taremi
The addition would make a lot of sense at their numbers, but they are dealing with tough negotiators. Still, they haven’t missed out on any player they truly wanted so far.
