Leeds United Keen On Inter Milan & Iran Striker – Besiktas Also Interested

Leeds United are keen to sign Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi this summer, with Besiktas also eyeing up a deal.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi has been at the centre of a number of transfer rumours in recent weeks.

The 33-year-old had a very underwhelming first season at Inter. Therefore, there is a widespread feeling that he will be on his way after just one year at the club.

There have been plenty of clubs to show an interest in Taremi’s signature.

The likes of Botafogo and Flamengo have tried to bring the 33-year-old to Brazil. However, his priority has been to stay in Europe.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, however, it is newly-promoted Premier League side Leeds United who have started to show a strong interest in Taremi.

Leeds could offer the Iranian international a lifeline to continue playing in a top European league.

However, Leeds are not the only club with an interest in Taremi’s signature this summer, the Gazzetta report.

Turkish giants Besiktas also remain keen on a deal for the former Porto striker.
