Ex AC Milan, Inter & Roma Striker Provokes New Rossoneri Manager: “Expect Him To Take Taremi” | OneFootball

Antonio Cassano teased newly-appointed AC Milan manager Sergio Conceicao about signing Inter Milan star Mehdi Taremi.

Cassano shared a provocative remark on Viva el Futbol via FCInterNews, recalling the duo’s immense success at Porto.

Milan fired underperforming manager Paulo Fonseca immediately after Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Roma.

Despite dodging several bullets earlier in the season, another dismal home result proved the final nail in his coffin.

One Portuguese tactician made way for another as Sergio Conceicao assumed the reins on Monday.

However, he’ll have his plate full from the get-go.

With Milan finishing the calendar year outside the European spots, there’s no longer a margin for error.

Adding to this sentiment, they already trail fourth-placed Lazio by eight points.

Given the circumstances, Conceicao must hit the ground running from day one.

In Serie A, he’ll find a familiar face, albeit in the opposite camp.

Mehdi Taremi swapped Porto for Inter last summer but hasn’t met the club’s expectations.

Antonio Cassano Expects Milan Boss Sergio Conceicao to Pursue Inter Striker Mehdi Taremi

Taremi’s life in Italy has started with a whimper rather than a bang.

Indeed, he has only netted one goal across 19 appearances in all competitions.

Even that strike came from the spot in a 4-0 demolition of Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League.

Meanwhile, he has collected 12 league outings without scoring.

Therefore, Inter could consider parting ways with the 32-year-old sooner than expected.

However, a switch to Milan has never been on the cards.

Cassano, on the other hand, has a different opinion.

“Let’s expect him to bring Taremi over from Inter,” He said.

“He’ll just travel 20 kilometers to switch sides and set up a 4-4-2.

“Conceicao had him at Porto, and they won a lot together.”

Despite Taremi’s struggles at Inter, Cassano’s words are nothing but wishful thinking.
