Inter Milan's deal for Porto striker Mehdi Taremi has stalled.

The medical visits (having been booked at CONI for today) have been postponed: the flight from Porto has also been cancelled, probably to avoid media hype, reports TMW.

The medical will be re-organised soon and the deal is absolutely not in doubt: simply the Nerazzurri, in the midst of a competitive season, have preferred not to place excessive emphasis on a negotiation involving a player returning from the Asian Cup and who remains committed to Porto for the remainder of the season.

Unlike Taremi, Piotr Zielinski underwent his medical yesterday, in great secrecy. The midfielder, who will arrive from Napoli in a Bosman transfer, given the expiration of his contract on June 30, will be able to sign his new deal with the Nerazzurri from July 1.

Meanwhile, Iran striker Taremi will sign a two-year contract with an option for a third year in favour of the Nerazzurri club. He will receive around 3m-a-year.
