Agent insists Taremi won’t leave Olympiacos to play for Iran | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi was in the spotlight on Monday after several media outlets in Turkey and Greece reported that the Iranian forward intended to temporarily leave Olympiacos to fight for his country. The news claimed that the former FC Porto player would enlist in the armed forces following attacks by the USA and Israel on his home country, which resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

On Tuesday, Taremi's agent, Federico Pastorello, denied these reports, assuring that the player is “completely focused on his work in Athens.”

“In recent hours, statements attributed to Mehdi Taremi have been circulating that do not reflect the reality of the situation. The player is completely focused on his work in Athens and his professional path, with commitment and determination. In a delicate period like this, it is important to avoid interpretations out of context or inaccurate reconstructions. We trust in the sense of responsibility and respect from everyone,” wrote the Italian agent in an Instagram story.
