AC Milan do not seem to have made any ground in their pursuit of Mehdi Taremi despite a meeting with intermediaries this evening, it is claimed.
A wide range have sources have claimed this afternoon that the deal is off due to requests from the player and his entourage. However, intermediaries of the deal were present at the club’s headquarters this evening.
According to Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the meeting at Casa Milan for Taremi didn’t give the expected results and the chances of the Iranian coming to Milan are very slim now.
The Rossoneri are still willing to complete the operation only with the old agents, under the old conditions. Now the ball passes back to Porto, but with time running out things are further away than they were.
Milan at this point are seriously thinking about not signing another striker. Evaluations are in progress but it is possible that the centre-forwards in the squad until January are Olivier Giroud, Noah Okafor and Divock Origi.
