Time Running Out For Iran FIFA World Cup Star To Turn Season Around At Inter Milan? | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi is now several months in to his time at Inter Milan, and has still struggled to make a real impact.

Today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, suggest that the Iranian could run out of time to find his feet at the Nerazzurri.

Taremi arrived at Inter with major expectations on his shoulders.

The Nerazzurri signed the 32-year-old on a free transfer from Porto. But he had been a long-term target for them well before them.

The hope was that Taremi would really beef up Inter’s attacking option, giving them a striker who is more than just a backup for Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.

And so far, that’s not really been the case.

Is Mehdi Taremi Running Out Of Time At Inter Milan?

In Serie A, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi clearly does not view Taremi as a starter.

However, the Nerazzurri coach has given the Iranian international plenty of chances in Europe.

Taremi has started all six of Inter’s Champions League matches to date this season.

And the Iranian’s performances have been a real mixed bag.

Taremi did well in a thankless job leading the line against Manchester City and Arsenal. However, he failed to score a goal.

Two assists and a goal from the penalty spot marked a performance against Red Star Belgrade that many hoped would be the turning point for Taremi at Inter.

However, in subsequent matches the 32-year-old has yet to score a goal.

There are still long months ahead in which Taremi will undoubtedly have opportunities to prove his worth.

But that will require a really turnaround in form from the Iranian.

And if that does not come by the end of the season, Taremi could find his time is up at Inter.
