Mehdi Taremi Left Out Of Inter Squad As Transfer Looms

Mehdi Taremi is not in Inter Milan’s squad for their first Serie A game against Torino. His absence raises questions about a transfer before the window closes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Taremi joined Inter Milan last summer. He is not on the list for their game against Torino. This decision seems to be temporary but comes as Inter may be open to selling him. Reports indicate that Inter might let Taremi go for €3–5 million. His role is uncertain after last season, where he was mostly a backup, making just one Serie A appearance and scoring once. The decision comes as the transfer window ends soon, making a deal likely soon.

TEAM & PLAYER CONTEXT

Inter is starting the Serie A season as the champions. They won the league last year, having finished 2nd in the previous season just behind Napoli. The club wants to refresh their squad after management changes. Taremi scored a big goal and had a key assist last season, but he rarely started. He joined from Porto as a free transfer but has not met expectations. Inter plays Torino first, who were mid-table last season and want to challenge for Europe. Inter, fighting at the top of the table to retain their Serie A title, is preparing for a competitive season.

WHAT NEXT?

Not including Taremi shows Inter wants to solve his future soon, maybe by deadline day. Premier League teams like Fulham and West Ham are interested in Taremi. Turkish club Besiktas has also asked about him. Inter starts with busy games, with important league and European matches coming. As runner-ups in the last Serie A season, there is pressure on new players. Taremi’s future might be decided in days as both he and the club want clarity before the window closes.
