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

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

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

“In the past few 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 on his professional path, with commitment and determination. In such a delicate period, it is important to avoid out-of-context interpretations or inaccurate reconstructions. We trust in everyone’s sense of responsibility and respect,” wrote the Italian agent in an Instagram story.
