Sempreinter.com – MILAN, Inter Milan have withdrawn from the race to sign Porto striker Mehdi Taremi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who reported in a tweet that the Portuguese\u2019s asking price of \u20ac30 million is tok high for the Nerazzurri, and that they will not make any more attempts to sign the 31-year-old Iranian international.<\/p>\n

Taremi has been one of the names who has emerged on Inter\u2019s shortlist of possible targets in the striker position.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old ticks a number of boxes in terms of the profile that the Nerazzurri are looking for.<\/p>\n

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has always made clear that his priority is signing a striker who has the strength and size to act as a target man and a reference point in the final third.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Taremi has been in the form of his career over the past couple season. The Iranian was the top scorer for Portugal\u2019s top flight last season.<\/p>\n

According to Tavolieri, however, Inter have decided against moving for Taremi.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of reasons for this.<\/p>\n

The first concerns the question of a fee. Porto have reportedly dug in their heels in asking for a fee of \u20ac30 million to sell their talisman.<\/p>\n

Reports have suggested that Inter have gone as high as around \u20ac20-25 million with their offers. However, these have not been enough to meet Porto\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n

And evidently the Nerazzurri have decided that it is not worth going that high with a bid for a player of Taremi\u2019s age.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as Tavolieri notes, Inter also factored in Taremi\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n

The Iranian will be away with his national team at the AFC Asian Cup in January and February.<\/p>\n

For the Nerazzurri\u2019s this would mean missing Taremi for several matches during a key month of the season. Evidently the Nerazzurri saw this as a sufficient concern to decide against signing the 31-year-old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
