Di Marzio: The two obstacles Milan must overcome to unblock Taremi deal

More information continues to filter regarding what is holding up the negotiations between AC Milan, Porto and Mehdi Taremi’s entourage.

As of yesterday evening it seemed as though Milan had finally wrapped up a deal for the Iranian striker after days of negotiations, but then later in the night it emerged that some rather large obstacles had presented themselves.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, there are a couple of issues that the deal hinges on, starting with the fact that Taremi has no intention of accepting the salary offer of €1.5m net per season.

Then there is the commissions of the deal. The player has decided to rely on an agent who is very close to FC Porto and thus asked for higher commissions.

Therefore, the current state of play is that the Taremi operation is one that has become ‘complicated’ and given the limited time left in the window, it remains to be seen if it can be unblocked.
