Sempreinter – MILAN, Talks are ongoing between Inter Milan and the representatives of Porto striker Mehdi Taremi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, report that the Nerazzurri are in more or less daily contact with the 31-year-old\u2019s representatives regarding a possible summer move.<\/p>\n

By now, Inter\u2019s interest in signing Taremi is a very badly-kept secret.<\/p>\n

The Nerazzurri had considered a move for the Iranian international during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

But in the end, it was Marko Arnautovic who arrived as a striker instead. The Austrian proved to be a lower-cost piece of business in the position than Taremi.<\/p>\n

But far from cooling their interest in Taremi after signing Arnautovic, Inter have only pushed it back,<\/p>\n

Taremi\u2019s contract with Porto runs out at the end of next June. And the 31-year-old will not sign an extension.<\/p>\n

Therefore Inter are now lining up a move for the Iranian on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

Deals of this nature have been a pillar of the Nerazzurri\u2019s transfer strategy for several years now.<\/p>\n

And a player of Taremi\u2019s quality and Champions League experience arriving without a transfer fee would certainly represent a real coup.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Inter are waiting to see how Arnautovic comes back from his thigh injury.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old has made a couple of substitute appearances before and after the November international break, having come back from a muscle strain that kept him out for around six weeks.<\/p>\n

But this evening could be a bigger test for Arnautovic.<\/p>\n

The former West Ham United and Stoke City striker will start in the Champions League against Benfica.<\/p>\n

That match will be the first major test of whether Arnautovic can lead the line for Inter.<\/p>\n

As with fellow summer arrival Juan Cuadrado, Inter are waiting to see if the Austrian can offer guarantees in terms of his fitness.<\/p>\n

If Inter feel that Arnautovic is not reliable from a fitness perspective, they could well sign a striker in January.<\/p>\n

In that case, Taremi would be the main target. However, Inter would have to negotiate not just with the Iranian\u2019s representatives \u2013 but also with Porto.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if Inter wait until next summer that will not be necessary.<\/p>\n

And as far as the talks with Taremi\u2019s representatives, Inter are already laying the groundwork.<\/p>\n

The Gazzetta report that Inter are receiving regular updates from the 31-year-old striker\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
