Inter Striker ‘Keen’ On Premier League Move After Failing To Impress At The San Siro

Start

The latest Mehdi Taremi transfer news has revealed that the Inter striker is keen on a move to the English Premier League this summer. 

Taremi endured a largely underwhelming maiden campaign at the San Siro. The Iranian international managed to find the back of the net on just three occasions in 43 appearances.

The poor return was hugely disappointing from Taremi who arrived at the Nerazzurri with a glowing reputation from Porto 12 months ago.

Mehdi Taremi Transfer News

Mehdi Taremi is currently -350 on US Sportsbooks to move on from Inter this summer after flopping at the San Siro. The 33-year-old is reportedly keen to try a new venture in England.

Taremi’s departure is almost a certainty as he doesn’t fit into Cristian Chivu’s plans for the upcoming season. He wasn’t a part of the 2025 Club World Cup roster and is keen to move to the Premier League.

Despite entering his twilight years, Taremi is also generating interest from Besiktas. Furthermore, Brazilian Serie A side Botafogo had been in talks with the player but they dropped negotiations owing to Taremi’s high wage demands.

Why Do Inter Want To Sell Mehdi Taremi?

There are a number of factors behind Inter wishing to sell Mehdi Taremi this summer. Naturally, his poor campaign in front of goal is the most obvious.

Another reason is due to the Nerazzurri boasting a number of players who can all play up top. Ange-Yoan Bonny has recently joined from Parma and Ademola Lookman is closing in on a San Siro switch.

With star man Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram already on board, Taremi’s playing time would have been extremely limited. Hence why Cristian Chivu wants to cash in. Taremi also made it clear he doesn’t want to play for him.

Which Premier League Clubs Are Interested In Mehdi Taremi?

According to reports, the English Premier League quartet of Fulham, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and West Ham have all declared an interest.

Even though Taremi struggled in 2024-25, his skills are still very much in demand. During his time at Porto, the 33-year-old rattled in 91 goals in 182 appearances for the Portuguese giants.

The one-in-two goal rate is something that has alerted the English top-flight clubs. All of whom are seeking a genuine goalscorer to add to their roster for the upcoming season.

Taremi certainly isn’t short of suitors. All that remains is for a suitable transfer fee to be reached with Inter and the Iranian star can realize his Premier League dream.
