Iran Superstar Plays Down Exit Speculation: 'I Have A Contract With Inter'

Iran Superstar Plays Down Exit Speculation: 'I Have A Contract With Inter' Iran international Mehdi Taremi addressed his future at Inter Milan after today's 3-0 win over North Korea. Speaking to the press after the game via FCInter1908, Taremi confirmed he has no intention of leaving San Siro. Advertisement Mehdi Taremi signed a multi-year contract last summer after leaving Porto as a free agent. Indeed, despite receiving offers from across the continent, he chose the Nerazzurri colors. However, his first season in Serie A didn't go as expected. Forced to play second fiddle to Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, he only made seven league starts. Moreover, the 32-year-old scored an unenviable three goals across 43 appearances in all competitions. For further context, his only goal in Serie A came from the penalty spot. Therefore, rumors surrounding his future have quickly gained momentum at the end of the season. Advertisement Yet, Taremi has no doubt and wants to stay Inter. Mehdi Taremi Addresses His Inter Milan Future RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – JANUARY 06: Mehdi Taremi of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Italian Super Cup Final between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Kingdom Arena on January 06, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by) Despite his club struggles, Taremi continues to be Iran's standout performer. His national team secured the 2026 World Cup qualification as Group A winners. Furthermore, he registered a goal and an assist as Iran trounced North Korea 3-0 in their final qualifying fixture. After the game, he spoke to the press, offering an update on his future at Giuseppe Meazza. 'I have a contract with Inter, and if they allow me, I will stay with this team,' he admitted. Though it wasn't a memorable season for Taremi and Inter, overall, there's still a place for him in this team. Advertisement Indeed, Joaquin Correa already left the club to join Brazilian outfit Botafogo on a two-year deal. Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic will soon sever ties with the Nerazzurri as the club refused to offer him fresh terms. However, Inter may sign two new strikers in the summer, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund topping their wishlist.

Inter tried to help the Argentine get back on track by sending him out on a season-long loan to Olympique Marseille in 2023/24. However, Correa flopped in Ligue 1 as Les Olympiens refused to sign him permanently the following summer. He spent most of the 2024/25 campaign as a marginal figure at Giuseppe Meazza.

Why you should bet on Cristian Chivu to win Serie A next season with Inter Milan

For more stories like this, click here to follow The Athletic's sports betting section and have them added to your feed. With two Champions League final appearances and a Scudetto in the last three years, Inter have emerged as one of the world's most formidable clubs. Unfortunately for the Nerazzurri, the man at the helm of that recent run — Simone Inzaghi — is off to the financially green pastures of Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Advertisement After a few high-profile names were floated around as Inzaghi's replacement, Inter settled on Cristian Chivu. Let's look at the who, ponder the why and, most importantly, evaluate the Italians' odds of winning the 2025/26 title in his first season at the San Siro. At the moment of Inzaghi's departure, several notable figures offered themselves up as respectable replacements. While a few of those individuals — Roberto De Zerbi or Luciano Spalletti — were perhaps the result of agents being, well, agents, one in particular seemed a great bet for the job: Fàbregas. In odds provided by Betfair, the Como manager was favoured at 1/2 odds to take over ahead of Chivu, who sat at 4/1. Having just guided a promoted team to 10th-place in one of the world's most challenging leagues, Fàbregas is proving to be just as good of a manager as he was a player. He would have been a fine choice to continue Inter's run of success were it not for one glaring problem: his tactical approach. Like De Zerbi and Spalletti, Fàbregas almost exclusively uses a back-four system. As someone who is not an avid Como fan, FBref tells us the club only deviated from deploying four at the back just twice all of last season. This contrasts with Inter's recent success, which has been largely attributed to their use of a back three. The system supports pairing together ultra-talented strikers Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram and transforms players like Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries from flawed fullbacks into ferocious wing-backs. It has also protected the defensive frailties of an ageing midfield consisting of Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. More notably, it allowed Champions League semi-final hero Francesco Acerbi to find a way into the starting XI. Advertisement Hiring Fàbregas wouldn't just bring in a manager with an intriguing pedigree to a ready-made side, it would also require Inter to reconfigure their squad or create awkward adjustments for the returning core. Additionally, prising him away from Como after such a historic season would be incredibly difficult; there's no guarantee the Spaniard would've said yes even if Beppe Marotta had come calling. Chivu's brief time at Parma provides a crucial insight as to why he was ultimately Inter's choice and how he may approach the role. In late February, Chivu was hired to stop Parma from slipping deeper into the relegation zone. During his first five games in charge, FBref data tells us that Chivu opted for a back-four system which yielded just four points. However, in their April 5 clash, ironically against Inter, Parma were credited with playing a back three — a system they would use throughout the rest of the season. So, if you're wondering why a cult favourite with almost zero high-level managerial experience bypassed Fàbregas for the job, it likely begins and ends there. When reviewing the Serie A landscape, it's important to remember that defending champions Napoli got lucky. Antonio Conte's men won the Scudetto despite scoring just 59 goals — a tally that actually overperformed their expected goal (xG) mark of 53. Meanwhile, Inter had the best xG differential per 90 minutes of any side in Italy and are retaining most of their talented core. Had Fàbregas been brought on board and initiated a change in the system, fading the Nerazzurri's status as 5/2 favourites would have been a wise decision. Chivu is a complete unknown, but if he retains Inter's philosophy and formation, it makes that bet a lot more tempting. Maintaining the status quo isn't a bad thing when the team that snatched the Scudetto away from you benefited from being fortunate, and the rest of the league seems to be floundering. Advertisement Rivals AC Milan (5/1) just lost their most talented midfielder, Tijjani Reijnders, to Manchester City. Gian Piero Gasperini is leaving Atalanta — another side that finished ahead of Napoli (3/1) in xG differential — for a rebuilding project at Roma. Juventus (5/1) haven't been close to matching Inter's underlying performance for nearly four seasons now and nothing in the Bianconeri's transfer activity suggests that will change anytime soon. Chivu may not be the best manager Inter could have hired, but he is the one most willing to commit to the same Nerazzurri system that has bred the club their enviable success.
