Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport report Milan need ‘one last effort’ to sign Mehdi Taremi from Porto, being close to agreeing on the striker’s transfer fee.
The Iran international is Milan’s primary target to strengthen their attack in the last days of the summer transfer window. Stefano Pioli is pushing to get a backup for Olivier Giroud and Taremi has been on the club’s radars for a few months.
According to Sky Sport Italia and Gazzetta, Milan have raised their offer to €15m, which is close to Porto’s asking price.
Gianluca Di Marzio claims the two clubs are now negotiating over the payment methods and instalments, while according to Gazzetta, the Portuguese side expect a new offer close to €20m.
However, both media claim Porto are now open to negotiating with the Rossoneri, especially because Taremi’s contract runs out in June 2024 and the player has already made it clear that he’d like to join Milan.
