According to Sky, Stefano Pioli spoke with the management yesterday at the first day of preseason and stressed the need to have a new striker available for next season, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s retirement and given Olivier Giroud’s age.
Taremi is one of the names on the list of Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada at present. The 30-year-old has been offered to Milan and also to Roma, with Porto asking for €25m as a transfer fee.
Such high demands currently complicate the deal for both sides and thus it seems Porto will need to drop their asking price if things are to go any further.
Not only that, but as always seems to be the case these days there is a Saudi club chasing Taremi too, namely Al-Hilal.
Taremi has been prolific since joining Porto, scoring 16 goals in 34 league games in his first season (2020-21), then 20 in 32 the next season and 22 in 33 in the last campaign.
