Time Running Out for Taremi to Turn Season Around in Inter Milan
Time Running Out for Taremi to Turn Season Around in Inter Milan
Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi is now several months into his time at Inter Milan, but still struggles to make a real impact.

TEHRAN (Iran News) The Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, has suggested that the Iranian player could run out of time to find his feet at the Nerazzurri.

Taremi joined Inter in July with major expectations on his shoulders.

The Nerazzurri signed the 32-year-old on a free transfer from Porto. But he had been a long-term target for the team well before them.

The hope was that Taremi would really beef up Inter’s attacking option, giving them a striker who is more than just a backup for Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. However, that has not really been the case so far.

In Serie A, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi clearly does not view Taremi as a starter.

However, the Nerazzurri coach has given the Iranian international plenty of chances in Europe.

Taremi has started all six matches of Inter’s Champions League to date this season. But the Iranian’s performances have been a real mixed bag.

Taremi did well in a thankless job leading the line against Manchester City and Arsenal. However, he failed to score a goal.

Two assists and a goal from the penalty spot marked a performance against Red Star Belgrade that many hoped would be the turning point for Taremi at Inter.

However, in subsequent matches the 32-year-old has yet to score a goal.

There are still long months ahead in which Taremi will undoubtedly have opportunities to prove his worth.

But that will require a really turnaround in form from the Iranian. And if that does not come by the end of the season, Taremi could find his time is up at Inter.
