Inter consider parting ways with three strikers as Taremi falls under scrutiny | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi is reportedly at risk of being sold by Inter in the summer, just a year after he joined on a free transfer from Porto, which means that the Nerazzurri could sanction the sale of three forwards during the next transfer window.

Taremi is in line to start for Inter in their Derby d’Italia clash against Juventus on Sunday with Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic both major doubts ahead of this weekend’s headline fixture.

A relatively consistent goalscorer in Portugal before his move to San Siro in the summer, the Iran international has hit the net just three times in all competitions this season, with just one goal in 18 Serie A appearances.

His goalscoring record to date has not been entirely convincing, and now reports in Italy claim that the club’s ownership group are not sold on the idea of keeping him on board.

According to Calciomercato.com, Oaktree, who took control of Inter at the end of the 2023-24 season, are put off by a relatively high salary and the fact that the player does not have much sell-on value at 32 years of age.

Friday’s report even claims that Oaktree would not have sanctioned Taremi’s signing had they taken charge of the club a few weeks earlier.

So, the possibility of his leaving Inter in the summer is considered a genuine possibility. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri are also prepared to part ways with both Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa ahead in the summer.
