Report – Inter Milan & Iran Striker Turn Down Flamengo Approach, Plans To Stay In Europe
Inter Milan flop Mehdi Taremi could reportedly continue his career away from Europe, with Flamengo emerging as potential suitors. According to Gianluca Di Marzio via FCInterNews, the Iranian striker has become an option for the Brazilian powerhouse. Flamengo were inches away from signing Fiorentina outcast Lucas Beltran. However, the player has rejected the transfer, forcing Filipe Luis's side to expand their search for reinforcements. And the name of Mehdi Taremi has reportedly appeared in their notebook.

(Photo by) With Flamengo on the lookout for a new center-forward, Taremi has emerged as a low-cost solution. Indeed, Cristian Chivu has deemed the 33-year-old surplus to requirements. Therefore, Inter have put the ex-Porto star up for sale and are ready to let him go in a cut-price deal. Yet, like Beltran, Taremi may not be enthusiastic about swapping Europe for South America. Instead, the player has made it clear that his primary intention is to play in one of Europe's top-five leagues next season.

Taremi joins Beltran in rejection of Flamengo transfer
According to Sky Sport Italia, it was not just Lucas Beltran who turned down a Flamengo transfer, but Inter striker Mehdi Taremi also rejected the move. As Football Italia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà already confirmed today, the pressure on Fiorentina striker Beltran proved futile, as he has no intention of leaving Europe for a return to South America so soon into this stage of his career. The Viola had accepted the proposal worth €15m plus add-ons, but the player was unimpressed with the destination.

EPA-EFE/GEORGIA PANAGOPOULOU It now seems as if he was not the only one to have doubts over a future at Flamengo. Sky Sport Italia claim that the Brazilians made a similar proposal to Inter striker Taremi, but he too is waiting for other alternatives in Europe. The 33-year-old Iran international is not part of Inter's plans for this season, but has a contract to June 2027. There have also been links with Besiktas, Fulham, Botafogo, Leeds United and West Ham United, though nobody seems to have come close to a genuine agreement yet.

Why Beltran is not ready to accept Flamengo transfer
After more than a week of hesitation, Flamengo are prepared to give up on convincing Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltran to make the move. Although the Brazilians impressed at the FIFA Club World Cup and brought in the likes of Italy international Jorginho and ex-Milan full-back Emerson Royal, not everyone is enthusiastic at the idea of moving to South America. Beltran not convinced by Flamengo epa11687970 Fiorentina's foward Lucas Beltran celebrates after scoring a goal during the Italian Serie A soccer match ACF Fiorentina vs AS Roma at Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy, 27 October 2024. EPA-EFE/CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI It has been known for at least 10 days that Flamengo made a proposal worth €15m plus add-ons to Fiorentina, which the Viola were happy to accept. There was also no secret that Beltran was not convinced by the idea of leaving Europe so soon after his transfer from River Plate in the summer of 2023, as he would see this as something of a personal defeat to return just two years into his Italian adventure. They even tried promising an improved salary, but it was not enough to sway him. Now it looks as if Flamengo have realised their pressure is just not going to pay off, as Beltran is showing no signs of opening the door to the Brazilians.
