Report – Inter Plan To Replace Outgoing Iran Megastar With Attacking Midfielder | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi is close to leaving Inter Milan after just one year, but the club will not replace him with an out-and-out striker.

According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri will search for a different profile to bolster their attacking ranks.

New Inter head coach Cristian Chivu has deemed the Iran international surplus to requirements.

Therefore, the Serie A runners-up are actively seeking a new club for the former Porto goal-getter.

Given the circumstances, the exit looks imminent.

Inter Milan to Replace Mehdi Taremi with Different Type of Forward

Mehdi Taremi is an old-fashioned No.9.

However, Inter will not land another center-forward to fill the void.

Instead, they’ll pursue a more versatile player capable of covering multiple positions alongside the frontline.

Indeed, Beppe Marotta and his associates will try to sign an attacking midfielder to fit Chivu’s formation.

The Romanian has slightly altered Simone Inzaghi’s trademark 3-5-2 formation.

As such, Inter will line up in a 3-4-2-1 next term, hence the importance of adding a versatile forward.

Meanwhile, their quest to land Rasmus Hojlund looks to have taken a back seat.
