Mehdi Taremi @ FC Porto | 2023/24

[arj42]

Anyone else still stupidly hopeful that in the next 24 hours by some fate of luck Taremi will still join Milan somehow??🤣🤣🤣🤣 how the hell is he gonna go back and play for Porto after all this stuff!

[DR Strangemoosh]

Milan's CL group is tough and I can't see them qualifying. Also not sure what they are doing here but it seems a little disrespectful:

Im hoping for an 11th hour move from Manure, their CL group is pretty good

Here is how I see the sh!t show we just all witnessed go down:

- the first and biggest motherf***er in all of this starts and ends with Porto management. These buffoons had offers on the table that were 5-10 million more than what they were agreeing to on deadline day and would have not only profited more by having common sense to begin with, but would have given Taremi and his “agents” and intermediaries enough time to try and find a solution.

- the second biggest load of crap are these agents and intermediaries sabotaging the negotiations out of their own greed. By every account on the latest meetings, numbers couldn’t be agreed upon bc of demands and payments that were owed to these guys who got brought in by both mehdi and Porto management.

- the third, which nobody here is ready to say, is mehdi himself. I’m sorry, I love the guy and his football abilities but his decision making was also piss poor that lead to this. He should have had the foresight to not have so many people involved and also if he really wanted the move should have taken less money. He now will be a part of a crap Porto team that will make him look like crap and bring his value immensely down, just look at his last few games for Porto where he has been invisible. He will be lucky to have a team like Valencia or Aston Villa or something like that who is interested in him next summer with his age and forecasted dip in form coming up. He was in control way more than anyone here is willing to admit and he royally fu***d up and is paying the ultimate price.

Yup u are 100%

All true. I support Milan for not caving and going against principle. It's on them not us. We signed 9 guys with no issue and tried harder for this one than all of the others combined. They screwed us and I do blame tatemi. He's not a kid yet a grown man who can step in and make decisions but chose to sit back thinking it will play out. Now look. Enjoy a fucking wasted year when he could of been the prince of glory and on top of the world with the team we have.

[Tarsal Claw]

Well, now that my bubble has been burst again, I sincerely hope he has another stellar year. AND he'll get most of this money on a transfer next year anyways! Let's NOT root against Porto. Their success is HIS success. We are the worst best country with a national team. At least the likes of Vietnam and Laos have no expectations...

I have more thoughts that I need to get off my chest and my wife will kill me if I talk about this tranfer saga anymore.

1. A vast majority of Milan fans on Reddit wanted Mehdi and thought his acquisition would've been a big coup for the team. Compare that to a loser club like Spurs whose fans didn't want Mehdi at all. I value Milan fans opinions more since they actually know what winning looks like. I'm surprised (and humbled) that such a great club and fanbase wanted Mehdi. It's very easy to dismiss him. 31 years old. Iranian. Coming from a farmers league. But when they saw highlights, they knew there was a versatile weapon that would've fit in perfectly with Milan's team. This makes the transfer falling through even more heartbreaking. I'm still cautiously optimistic he'll end up in Milan. Perhaps next year on a free (and Milan will save 18M on transfer fees).

2. Reports from several weeks back said that Mehdi had agreed to personal terms with Milan for 3-4M annually. Now, all of a sudden, we're seeing that figure has dropped to 1.5M annually. Why? What happened? Are the "agents" unjustly enriching themselves by taking 60% of Mehdi's salary? If so, I agree that Mehdi said "no way." Also, Milan fans on Reddit think it's laughable that they offered Mehdi 1.5M and out of the realm of possibility when their 3rd string GK is getting more and a nobody from Austrian Bundesliga (Okafor) is getting 2.2M annually. So what really happened?

Taremi is mostly guilty of being very simple. The moment he saw Porto rejecting bigger bids and accepting this smaller bid he should have known there was no chance.

[koorosh]

At this point no one knows what really are the issues...who is Taremi's agent....Mendes? Daria? What is their role? How did Taremi's 15% affect the deal? Did Porto halve their price...and why? Did Milan really offer 1.5 m salary?

We don't even know if the deal is fully dead?

Why so much venting and fury? Let's wait till tomorrow and see.

You guys honestly think porto would reject big bids?? PortoOoOo .... rejecting money?????lol. Porto would sell their mom if they get offers. Man this was all rumor created by BS media. Its now leaked that taremi's agent visitied man U oldtrafford just to create Rumor that he has offer from man united. he then paid Varzesh 3 to write about it. all the media outlets used varzesh 3 as their source for that news.

[arj42]

lol...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you never know. Can’t believe azmoun joined Roma without a single issue. Maybe it demonstrates the efficiency and strictness of Germans

porto’s move was to reject any bid or destroy any offer below their 30 million number.

Their math was Porto + Taremi = better chance at getting to 2nd round of UCL = big cash reward > non Saudi offers.

don’t look at those Varzesh 3 reports. His agents were mendes and Pinho. The rest were nokhodi.

This doesn't add up up bro. Your story to what SC said doesn't add up . Unless we are also calling SC a liar too.

Porto rejecting under 30 million for UCL ???

Then Porto accepting 15 million last minute?? so what happened to UCL idea ?

Taremi Rejecting £35 mill from saudi , but then not accepting £1.5 mill to play in one of the biggest Italian clubs in history?????

Regarding varzesh3, all Man U rumors started from his agent . All the news about Man U offer is using the iranian agent and varzesh3 as their source. So again another BS rumor.

Agha I don't buy that BS they've been posting on Social media. Ziad ba aghleh man joor dar nemiad. Porto has been selling their top players for low value over the past years. Porto is hungry for money and for them to reject £20 mill for taremi doesn't add up in my mind.
