Iran’s Taremi to Move to Europe in Summer: Report


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Persepolis striker Mehdi Taremi will most likely move to Europe in the summer of 2016.

He has amazing potential and could become one of Iran’s best players (with many comparing him to the likes of Ali Daei and Vahid Hashemian), and he also has received good offers from European teams, according to the ahdaaf.me website.

However, he has claimed that he wants to stay in Perspolis for the remainder of the season and will most likely move to Europe in the summer of 2016.

Mehdi Taremi is 2015’s Persian Gulf Pro League Player of the Year. He was discovered by Ali Daei and transferred from Iran’s Azadegan League (2nd tier) to Persian Gulf Pro League’s Persepolis. He went on to impress the fans with great performances against Saba and Esteghlal at the end of 2014, which made him a regular starter for the Reds in 2015.

He impressed Perspolis’s fans with his performances in the Asian Champions League, giving an amazing back-heel assist to Persepolis’s deceased captain – Hadi Norouzi – against Qatar’s Lekhwiya, and scoring a beautiful chip penalty against Al-Nassr. He was also praised for intelligently assisting Al-Hilal’s Digao who scored an own goal (Persepolis’s winner) in the Azadi Stadium.

He earned a call up to Iran’s National Team (Team Melli) and impressed all Iranians with his great performances and perfect chemistry with Azmoun. He also scored an impressive amount of 5 goals in 7 games for Iran.

Taremi also gets many penalties for Persepolis and Iran (against teams like Bunyodkor, Al-Nassr in ACL – Saipa, Zob Ahan, and many other teams in Persian Gulf Pro League, and Guam in the International games). Taremi’s movement off the ball is also incredible and he has amazing decision making which has been evident in games like: Perspolis vs. Lekhwiya, Tehran Derby, Iran vs. Guam, etc.
