Iran Superstar Plays Down Exit Speculation: “I Have A Contract With Inter” | OneFootball

Iran international Mehdi Taremi addressed his future at Inter Milan after today’s 3-0 win over North Korea.

Speaking to the press after the game via FCInter1908, Taremi confirmed he has no intention of leaving San Siro.

Mehdi Taremi signed a multi-year contract last summer after leaving Porto as a free agent.

Indeed, despite receiving offers from across the continent, he chose the Nerazzurri colors.

However, his first season in Serie A didn’t go as expected.

Forced to play second fiddle to Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, he only made seven league starts.

Moreover, the 32-year-old scored an unenviable three goals across 43 appearances in all competitions.

For further context, his only goal in Serie A came from the penalty spot.

Therefore, rumors surrounding his future have quickly gained momentum at the end of the season.

Yet, Taremi has no doubt and wants to stay Inter.

Despite his club struggles, Taremi continues to be Iran’s standout performer.

His national team secured the 2026 World Cup qualification as Group A winners.

Furthermore, he registered a goal and an assist as Iran trounced North Korea 3-0 in their final qualifying fixture.

After the game, he spoke to the press, offering an update on his future at Giuseppe Meazza.

“I have a contract with Inter, and if they allow me, I will stay with this team,” he admitted.

Though it wasn’t a memorable season for Taremi and Inter, overall, there’s still a place for him in this team.

Indeed, Joaquin Correa already left the club to join Brazilian outfit Botafogo on a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic will soon sever ties with the Nerazzurri as the club refused to offer him fresh terms.

However, Inter may sign two new strikers in the summer, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund topping their wishlist.
