Mehdi Taremi, a Porto striker who has 31 goals last season, has been linked to Manchester United.
It seems like prices for strikers are being jacked up tremendously everywhere Manchester United goes. One example is Rasmus Hojlund. According to The Mail, Atalanta wants £86 million. At this time, the transfer is worthless.
It is not shocking to see new names associated with Manchester United. Mehdi Taremi is reportedly a target for the Red Devils, according to Iranian outlet IMNA.
At 30 years old, he is not a long-term option, but there are reasons to support this choice if United make it. For Porto past season, Mehdi Taremi scored 31 goals, including five in seven Champions League games. He scored two goals for Iran at the World Cup as well.
He has a respectable record at Porto with 80 goals in 147 games. In June 2024, his deal with the Portuguese team will expire.
At the international level, he has 33 goals in 66 games played for his nation. He can score goals, which Manchester United desperately needs.
There were no fitness difficulties the previous season either. For Porto, Taremi only missed one game because of a ban following an accumulation of yellow cards.
One justification opposing a change is Mehdi Taremi's age. However, it also supports his case. He is only a temporary solution, which is okay. Manchester United require a striker who can make an immediate impact.
Rasmus Hojlund, a prospect who might not be able to withstand regular Premier League games, is perhaps better than him because of this. Taremi may immediately enter and take the lead in the line.
Manchester United might double-up and sign Harry Kane for free a year from now.
Tottenham's refusal to consider bids has forced United to suspend its pursuit of Kane. The England international is likely to let his contract with Spurs expire and sign a free transfer the following summer.
United might be able to spend money this summer on other positions if they sign Taremi now and Kane later. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa, a teammate of Taremi's from Porto, might even be moved.
Erik ten Hag is eager to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta during the summer transfer window in order to address his goal-scoring problem. United's chances of signing the 20-year-old international from Denmark in the near future, though, are all but over thanks to an exaggerated £86 million price.
Express Sports has suggested that the Red Devils can utilize the likes of Amad Diallo, Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Martial in their bid to land Atalanta Star, Rasmus Hojlund.
