An agreement between Inter and Olympiacos is reportedly close, which would save Inter approximately 10 million euros in gross wages. For Taremi, the prospect of playing in the Champions League with the Greek club is a significant factor influencing his decision.
The anticipated transfer of Mehdi Taremi to Panathinaikos has fallen through. This setback was partly due to AC Milan`s change of heart regarding Harder, a move that was central to a wider chain of transfers involving Greek forward Ioannidis moving to Sporting Lisbon as a replacement. However, this chain reaction never initiated. Despite this, Taremi could still be headed to Piraeus, to the other side of the Acropolis. Recent developments show Olympiacos making a very strong push to acquire the former Porto player. While it`s premature to call it a done deal, sources indicate the negotiations are progressing positively.
The Situation
Meanwhile, Inter Milan is keen to offload Taremi`s substantial salary, which amounts to 3 million euros net (approximately 10 million gross). To alleviate this financial burden, Inter would be willing to part ways with the player for a symbolic fee, indicating no significant obstacles between the two clubs. The ultimate decision now rests with Taremi himself. In Greece, he would encounter an enthusiastic football environment, a competitive league, and critically, the chance to continue playing in the Champions League, given Olympiacos`s qualification. These are undoubtedly crucial hours for the Iranian`s potential move to Greece, as his future at Inter appears to offer no further opportunities.
