Iran Star Hailed For ‘Professionalism' In Accepting Inter Milan Departure This Summer
Today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, note that the Iranian international isn't putting up a fight as he heads for the exit door.
There is no doubt about it. Inter Milan are planning to sell Mehdi Taremi this summer.
There has been a fair bit of interest in the former Porto striker. Right now, the Premier League looks to be the most likely destination, with Leeds United and Fulham keen.
Mehdi Taremi Praised For 'Professionalism' Accepting Inter Milan Exit

Notably, Taremi himself seems to be happy to go along with this exit plan.
Clearly, the 33-year-old will be as disappointed as anyone with how last season went for him.
Inter signed Taremi with big expectations. He had been prolific throughout his time in the Portuguese league.
However, the Iranian scored a paltry three goals last campaign.
Therefore, it is not exactly difficult to see why Inter are ready to offload Taremi after just one season.
And for his part, Taremi understands this as well as anyone.
The 33-year-old striker is ready to say goodbye to his teammates. He will not dig in his heels and insist on seeing out his contract at a club where he is not part of the plans.
Tuttosport comment Taremi for the 'professionalism' he's shown to accept that it's time for him to try his luck elsewhere.

UEFA Super Cup: PSG makes a decision for its supporters
PSG Next Wednesday, Achraf Hakimi and his teammates will kick off their 2025-2026 season. It will be against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup final. For this match, PSG has already made a decision. On the agenda for next Wednesday: a showdown in the UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham for PSG. It's a battle for another piece of silverware and the perfect way to launch a season that once again promises to be thrilling. The final will be played in Udinese, Italy. For fans who may not have gone on holiday or made the trip to Italy, PSG has thought of everything. In fact, the match will be broadcast live inside the Parc des Princes, just like for the Champions League final. However, the club doesn't plan as massive a setup as for the clash against Inter Milan, "but a more modest arrangement with a giant screen on the Auteuil side," as reported by La Source Parisienne. To enjoy this event, fans need to book their ticket through the ticket office for the upcoming Night Session Stadium Tour on August 13. Tickets are priced at €30 for children, €20 for adults, including a "Stadium Tour route + guinguette area by the Auteuil pitch + giant Auteuil screen."

Slot seeks Liverpool balance for Premier League defence
Liverpool boss Arne Slot said his side are conceding too often if they are to defend the Premier League title after losing the Community Shield on penalties to Crystal Palace on Sunday. The new-look Reds, after a £260 million ($350 million) spending spree in the transfer market, looked slick in attack at Wembley with new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong on target. However, the Reds twice failed to hold onto the lead as Palace levelled through Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty and Ismaila Sarr's strike 13 minutes from time as the match ended 2-2 before the shootout. Last season Liverpool beat Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park and drew 1-1 on the final day of the season at Anfield as they romped to the title with four games to spare. Slot saw flashes of what his star-studded forward line are capable of as the most expensive of his new recruits, Florian Wirtz, teed up Ekitike for the opening goal after just four minutes. However, in keeping with the pattern of Liverpool's pre-season friendlies, they were cut open with ease on the counter-attack. AC Milan beat Slot's men 4-2 in Hong Kong, while Liverpool edged out Athletic Bilbao 3-2 in one of two friendlies against the Basques on their return to Anfield on Monday. "If you look at our attacking play against a team that is so compact, that might be a bit better than last season," said Slot. "We only could score one goal against Palace (last season). Now we scored two and created more against them. "But, on the other hand, we conceded two goals, which we did against Bilbao, and we conceded a couple more against Milan, so that is something we need to do better." Only Arsenal had a better defensive record than Liverpool in the Premier League last season and Slot is keen to rectify his side's issues before they begin their title defence at home to Bournemouth on Friday. "We are able to create more but we are conceding at the moment more as well. If you want to compete to win the league, you cannot concede these chances. "We conceded too much today to win the game." Liverpool's spending in the transfer market may not be over as they continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. However, Slot dismissed the claim that the transfer spending will put his players under more pressure this season. "Because we are Liverpool the pressure is always on," he said. "That is nothing to do with brining players in." kca/gj

Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson shine for Steelers in preseason opener
Aaron Rodgers recently said "preseason football is not necessarily real football." And he's right. Still, in August, preseason football is the closest thing we have to real football. And, on Saturday night, the two Steelers quarterbacks who played against the Jaguars did a pretty good job playing not necessarily real football. With Mason Rudolph taking only 15 snaps and Skylar Thompson handling 51, both performed very well. Rudolph, who got the start, completed nine of 10 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. Passer rating? 135.0. With rookie Will Howard injured, Thompson handled the rest of the game. He completed 20 of 28 passes, generating 233 yards and three touchdown passes. Rating? 132.0. "Good to be back in the black and gold, man," Rudolph said after the game in a one-question press conference. (It was one more question than coach Mike Tomlin got.) Ideally, neither Rudolph nor Thompson (nor Howard) will handle anything more than garbage time this season. But maybe, if one or more of them are needed to play, the cause won't already be lost.
