Olympiacos lead Lyon in the race to sign Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, via FCInter1908.

With deadline day looming, Inter have still not managed to find a new club for striker Mehdi Taremi.

The Iranian has looked set to leave Inter for much of the summer transfer window.

And multiple potential destinations have emerged.

Reportedly, Leeds United and Fulham have shown an interest in bringing Taremi to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Ligue 1 side Lille have also come forward. As have Serie A new boys Sassuolo.

Botafogo and Flamengo had already tried to bring Taremi to Brazil. However, the 33-year-old has made clear that he prefers to stay in Europe.

Despite all these clubs showing an interest, though, Taremi has so far remained an Inter player all summer long.

This has led to several clubs coming forward in the final days of the transfer window to try their luck.

Among these have been PSV and Panathanaikos.

However, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, there are now two teams above all vying to sign Taremi.

Firstly, there is Greek side Olympiacos. They are still hoping to bring the 33-year-old to Athens.

Then, Di Marzio reports, Lyon are also in with an interest in signing Taremi before deadline day.
