These discussions signify the club’s proactive approach to reshaping their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
The potential acquisition of Mehdi Taremi highlights Tottenham’s efforts to find a suitable replacement for Harry Kane, who has been linked with a move away from the club.
Taremi’s exceptional goal-scoring record in the Portuguese league, coupled with his versatility in attacking positions makes him an appealing option for Spurs. His ability to find the back of the net and contribute assists aligns with Tottenham’s attacking ethos.
While Tottenham’s interest in Taremi has gained traction, there’s no official word yet on whether the two clubs are close to an agreement. Porto’s management is likely considering the offer and negotiations could continue over the coming days. The reported €24 million figure offered by Tottenham is a significant sum that may tempt Porto to part ways with their star striker.
