Mehdi Taremi joined Inter Milan last summer. He arrived on a free transfer after his contract with Porto had expired.
However, things have just never quite worked out for Taremi at Inter.
The 32-year-old scored just three goals in his first season in a Nerazzurri shirt. It would be an understatement to say that this was below expectations.
Therefore, there have been persistent rumours that Taremi could be on his way out of the San Siro after just one season.
Inter Outcast Mehdi Taremi Wants To Stay In Europe – No To Saudi Switch

Inter Milan will want to sell Taremi this summer. There is little doubt about that.
For starters, any transfer fee that the Nerazzurri were to receive for the Iranian would represent a tidy capital gain considering they signed him on a free transfer. And that could be reinvested.
Then, Inter would be happy to offload Taremi's €6 million gross wages next season.
As far as Taremi himself, he would be willing to consider offers to leave Inter this summer.
However, the 32-year-old is keen to stay in Europe. He feels that he still has more left to give at the top level even if it is not at Inter.
Therefore, reports Tuttosport, Taremi will turn down offers from the Saudi Pro League.

Golfer Jon Rahm unleashes on fan at The Open Championship, claims whistling created distraction during drive
Jon Rahm's emotions ran high during the first round at The Open Championship. The Spaniard had a rough moment when he played the par-4 10th hole at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland on Thursday. Rahm's shot ended up in the rough. The two-time major championship winner was visibly upset as he put his hands in the air before turning toward the gallery and scolding a fan. Rahm claimed at least one spectator made a distracting noise as he was attempting his backswing. "Really? Whistling? Right, great time," Rahm said. "Right on my backswing. Very smart, whoever it was." It was not clear whether cameras for the television broadcast picked up audio of the alleged whistling noise. Rahm later downplayed the tense exchange he had with the spectator, chalking up his emotional reaction to the "bad timing" of the noise in question. "I mean, if I were to paint a picture, you have the hardest tee shot on the course, raining, into the wind off the left, it's enough," Rahm told the assembled media. "I know they're not doing it on purpose. It just seemed like somebody trying to get a hold of someone for whatever it is. It was bad timing." Rahm did admit that he had "a bad swing." "I think I just used the moment to let out any tension I had in me. Really that's not — it is what it is. To be honest, it probably didn't affect as much as I made it sound like. It was a bad swing as well. Just a difficult hole. "I mean, it's frustrating, but it is what it is. It's an everyday thing in golf," Rahm concluded. The 30-year-old entered the final major tournament of the season off the heels of a second-place finish at LIV Golf's event in Spain. Rahm had his best performance at The Open in 2023 when he finished in a tie for the runner-up spot. He won the U.S. Open in 2021 and the Masters tournament in 2023.

Lakers Fans Told 'Don't Panic' If Luka Doesn't Sign Extension This Summer
Lakers Fans Told 'Don't Panic' If Luka Doesn't Sign Extension This Summer originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Despite early hopes that a new deal would be finalized this summer, Luka Doncic's contract extension with the Lakers may not come until September. According to ESPN insider Brian Windhorst, there are multiple reasons behind the delay—including Doncic's commitment to Slovenia's national team—and Lakers fans have been advised not to panic if the deal doesn't get done right away. "I would not expect it to happen that early," said Windhorst on NBA Today. "There are various reasons why the timeline would be pushed to September. Don't react negatively, Lakers fans, if you don't see a deal right away, he's playing for the Slovenian national team. Also, it behooves him to take a three-year contract extension. The Lakers can offer 4 and $230, but it makes sense that it would take a three-year extension for long-term reasons. But anything that he would sign would be terrific for the Lakers, they're going to obviously make that their offseason priority.' Lakers fans may still be unfamiliar with Luka's offseason habits, but anyone who followed him in Dallas will tell you this is entirely in character. Typically, when he prepares to suit up for Eurobasket, he puts his NBA business on hold, and that includes any and all extension talks. 'He won the Eurobasket for Slovenia earlier in his career, probably the greatest moment of his career. They play six exhibition games leading up to the start on August 27th. And they could go as late as September 14th, which means he may not be back in the US until late September. McMan will tell you that, in the past, when he's been playing for the national team, he has not done NBA business, including NBA contracts. So he could certainly pledge his intention to sign with the Lakers, but do not freak out if you do not hear from Luka contractually until September.' It hasn't even been a full year since Luka joined the Lakers, but the team is eager to lock in his commitment for the next phase of his career. With his current contract set to expire in 2027 ($48.9 million player option), Doncic could be up for free agency as early as next summer if he doesn't agree to an extension soon. While Lakers fans are expecting Doncic to sign a contract before the start of next season, he's not in any rush to accept a deal, even for the maximum amount of $230 million over four years. Luka is reportedly considering a three-year deal, but any agreement would be a huge win for the Lakers, especially after giving up their championship big man, Anthony Davis, to acquire him in February. The important thing for the Lakers is that Luka clearly still wants to stay, even if he doesn't prove it by signing an extension as soon as he can. In this case, the delay is not a sign of tension, just practical timing. If played correctly, it can sweeten the position of both the Lakers and Doncic for the foreseeable future. Lakers fans may need to wait a bit longer to see the official ink dry, but there's no reason to panic. Luka Doncic remains committed to both his country and his new NBA home, and all signs indicate that a contract extension is coming—it just might not happen until the summer's spotlight dims and Slovenia wraps its Olympic story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Italian cyclist Samuele Privitera, 19, dies after crashing during race
Cyclist Samuele Privitera died from injuries he sustained in a crash Wednesday during the first stage of the Tour of Valle D'Aosta in Italy, his team announced. He was 19. Privitera reportedly hit a speed bump, lost control of his bike and hit his head as he struck a barrier. He crashed on a descent of about 35 kilometers from the finish in Aosta at a speed of almost 70 kilometers per hour, according to Italian media. He reportedly lost his helmet in the process. Race organizers said the circumstances of the crash were "still unclear and are being investigated by public safety authorities." Privitera was a member of the Hagens Berman Jayco team. The team's director, Axel Merckx, released a statement on the teen's death. "Samuele was and always will be the life and personality of this team," Merckx said. "This team has always been a small family, and moments like this are unimaginable. "He was irreplaceable. His joy, his spirit, his kindness was always a bright light to whatever room or race that he was in at that moment. To lose him is devastating beyond words." Tour de France riders took a moment to applaud for a minute during the 12th stage of the race Thursday in honor of Privitera. "It's really sad to lose another young talent today. It's devastating," Tour de France favorite Tadej Pogačar said before Thursday's stage. "It is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, I think, and the risk that we are taking sometimes is too far. But I'm really really really sad for all his family. May he rest in peace." The Tour of Valle D'Aosta was put on hold Thursday and will resume Friday. "This news leaves us shocked and forces us to think even more decisively about how to make our races safer," Italian Cycling Federation President Cordiano Dagnoni said in a statement. "The federation established a commission some time ago to develop proposals on this matter, and we constantly update the regulations every year to ensure such incidents never happen again. "We must intensify our efforts in this direction. It is an obligation we owe first and foremost to our young people, to our clubs and to our entire movement."
