Iran Icon Brands Inter Milan New Boy “Great Striker”: ‘Inter Made An Incredible Signing!’ | OneFootball

Legendary former Iran and Bayern Munich striker Ali Daei feels that Mehdi Taremi is a “great striker” and “incredible signing” for Inter Milan.

Daei gave glowing reviews of Taremi in an interview published in yesterday’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

This summer, Inter have brought in a major attacking reinforcement in the form of Taremi;.

The 32-year-old officially completed his move this month. He signed on a free transfer after his contract with Porto expired.

Taremi arrives with a significant reputation and expectations.

Both at club level and for the Iran national team, Taremi has scored prolifically and consistently for several years.

Of course, Inter will present a big new challenge for the Iranian.

But Taremi has been giving very positive early signs in preseason.

Taremi has been part of Inter’s preseason training camp right from the word go. He has been eager to make the most out of the summer to fit into his new environment.

And in Inter’s first three friendlies of the preseason period, the 32-year-old has already scored five goals.

Ali Daei: “Mehdi Taremi A Great Striker & Incredible Signing For Inter”

Legendary former striker Daei certainly knows what it takes to score prolifically as an Iranian international.

“Taremi is a great striker,” the former striker said.

“He can score at least fifteen goals next season,” Daei predicted.

He also made the bold claim that Taremi is “The best striker in all of Asia.”

“On a free transfer, it’s an incredible deal,” Daei said of Inter’s signing Taremi. “Considering what he’s done at Porto over the last four seasons.”

“More than ninety goals. Decisive goals in the Champions League. Multiple trophies.”

Daei also suggested that Taremi can form an effective partnership with either Lautaro Martinez or Marcus Thuram equally well.

“Taremi knows how to adapt to any situation,” the former Iran striker said.

“Either playing as a first or second striker. Next to a pure number ten or number nine.”

“He and Lautaro are a duo who could score forty goals between them,” Daei predicted. “At least on paper.”
