AC Milan still strongly believe that they can get a deal for Mehdi Taremi over the line before the transfer window closes, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
Speaking on his nightly sky segment ‘Calciomercato L’Originale’ (via Radio Rossonera), Di Marzio confirmed that Milan’s intention is to make ‘a last minute offer’ for Taremi.
It remains to be seen whether Porto will accept it, because he was a started for them against Rio Ave last night and they believe they can get €25m from his sale despite being 10 months away from his contract deadline.
Porto are a ‘very tough customer’ when it comes to negotiations, but Milan want to try because they know that with a one-year contract, in the final days of the transfer market, things can change.
The journalist states that the bid could come on Tuesday, but it is also possible that the management wait until the very end of the window in the hopes Porto ‘capitulate and give the go-ahead for Taremi to leave’.
He has ‘always been Pioli’s target’ since the start of the window, and Di Marzio once again reiterated that Milan ‘are betting on the player having a one-year contract’.
Four days from the end of the mercato they will present a lower offer than €25m, hoping that Porto understand that they would get a good amount. Around €15m plus bonuses to get to €18m is better than nothing next June.
This sounds good for us taremi + Jonathan David is nightmare to serie a defenders
If you are expecting the two of them in one summer then you must be joking 😀😀
What bothers me with him is that he is old and we already have an old Giroud in our team. IF Taremi comes, he and Giroud will be too old to play in 2 years time, so in 2 years we will have 0 strikers. Lets focus on a younger striker that plays along Giroud for now and gets the needed experience for the future. We lost the chance to sign Retegui…
Taremi is still 31 ffs. He still have solid 3-4 seasons with his playing style.
Giroud still play at 37, Zlatan at 40.
What do you mean no striker in 2 years… we literally still have Colombo and Lazetic right now. And if Taremi come he will be 33, not that old compared to Giroud and Zlatan.
Lazetic is garbage man. Colombo has spend last 3 years on loan, we still can’t count on him. We need better (young) strikers, and we dont have them. You can’t compare strikers to Ibra, Ibra was a legend at his age.
This summer for Taremi next summer for Jonathan and then games over
man i wish we signed retegui
cant catch them all it seems
