The agent of out-of-favour Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi is reportedly in talks with Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas.
This according to Italian transfer journalist Gianluigi Longai. He reports in a tweet that the Iranian’s entourage are looking for an exit route for him after an underwhelming first season at Inter.
Striker Mehdi Taremi joined Inter Milan last summer. He arrived on a free transfer after his contract with Porto had expired.
However, it would be fair to say that Taremi has not met expectations at Inter.
The 32-year-old finished the season having scored only three goals for the Nerazzurri.
L’Inter cerca una sistemazione per Mehdi #Taremi. L’agente del giocatore sta sondando il mercato in Turchia, e ha avuto contatti con il #Besiktas.
Al momento nessun dialogo diretto tra i due club.
— Gianluigi Longari (@Glongari) June 23, 2025
Therefore, there is a sense that, even though Taremi may have enjoyed a few positive moments, by and large he has been below par.
Agent Of Inter Outcast Mehdi Taremi In Talks With Besiktas
It is hardly a secret that Inter Milan would be happy to get rid of Mehdi Taremi at this stage.
This is particularly the case because the Nerazzurri have other plans in attack. Therefore, a departure for the Iranian international would make room for arrivals such as Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund.
The big question, however, has been where Mehdi Taremi could go next.
According to Italian transfer journalist Gianluigi Longari, the player’s agent has been looking around at possible next clubs for him.
And Longari reports that the agent has been in talks with Istanbul giants Besitkas.

Spanish outlets give blunt verdict on Viktor Gyokeres after Arsenal win over Athletic Club
Viktor Gyokeres played 65 minutes as a starter for Arsenal in their Champions League victory over Athletic Club. The Gunners had already faced Ernesto Valverde’s team in a preseason friendly, where they picked up a straightforward win. It was during that match that the Swede scored his first goal for the club. This time, though, things were far from easy. The Sweden international failed to find the net against Athletic and was substituted for Leandro Trossard, who went on to score Arsenal’s second goal. Spanish media weigh in on Viktor Gyokeres’ showing in Athletic Club vs Arsenal Viktor Gyokeres is settling in at Arsenal and his start to life at the club has been quite interesting. The ex-Sporting CP man has found the net three times in two appearances at the Emirates, but he is still searching for his first goal away from home. Playing at San Mames, Gyokeres had a few chances to get on the scoresheet but could not convert any of them. The Swede also picked up a cut on the back of his head after a collision with Gabriel Magalhaes inside the penalty area. According to Sport in Spain, Gyokeres had looked lively before that injury. They wrote: “The Swede was one of Athletic’s biggest pains – along with Madueke – in the first half, but a collision with Gabriel left him with a considerable gash on the back of his neck and ended his performance.” Meanwhile, AS described Gyokeres’ display as ‘lacklustre’ and praised Trossard for making an impact after coming off the bench: “Trossard changed everything. The Belgian has been the differentiating factor in Arsenal’s attack,” they wrote. “He burst onto the scene spectacularly, replacing a lacklustre Gyokeres. Playing as a false nine, his mobility has ultimately caused Athletic’s defence to struggle.” Mikel Arteta offers update on Viktor Gyokeres injury following Arsenal win over Athletic Club Gyokeres suffered a cut to the back of his head during a clash inside the box. The medical team wrapped it up quickly, but it was clear he was not fully comfortable afterwards. Arteta’s decision to substitute the Swedish striker for Trossard in the 65th minute sparked debate among many fans on social media. But the Belgian came on and immediately made an impact for Arsenal, setting up one goal and scoring another as they took control late on. Arteta explained after full-time that both Gyokeres and Mikel Merino were okay despite picking up knocks during the match.
Concerning report emerges about Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin's health
The Washington Capitals began their first day of training camp with an injury scare, as star left winger Alexander Ovechkin left practice early with a lower-body injury. Alexander Ovechkin addresses the media It wasn't immediately clear if the injury affected the same leg that Ovechkin broke last year, when a fractured fibula cost the Capitals captain 16 games. The injury was not severe enough to restrict Ovechkin from speaking to reporters following Thursday's practice. Per NHL.com's Tom Gulitti, Ovechkin sounded "unconcerned" about his lower-body injury, but he added that the Capitals captain might not skate on Friday when training camp resumes. Gulitti added that Washington head coach Spencer Carbery called the decision "precautionary" to take Ovechkin off the ice. Ovechkin, who turned 40 on Wednesday, enters the 2025 season as the NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer with 897 tallies. When asked if he is approaching this season as if it would be his last, Ovechkin said he didn't know. Ovechkin is also the NHL's all-time leader in regular-season power-play goals (326), game-winning goals (136) and shots on net (6,864). Depending on the severity of this injury, Capitals fans may have to wait to watch Ovechkin continue padding those totals and try to lead the Caps to their second Stanley Cup.
Raiders' Pete Carroll admits disappointing truth about Ashton Jeanty
The Las Vegas Raiders had high hopes and expectations when they took Boise State phenom Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick in this year's draft. It's becoming increasingly rare to see running backs drafted so high, but after watching him post one of the single greatest seasons in college football history, he looked more than worthy of that honor. So far, however, the 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist has looked quite mortal in his first two games in the pros. Ashton Jeanty hasn't gotten off to a fast start in the NFL He logged 38 yards and one score in his NFL debut, and then logged just 43 yards on 11 carries in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. That's why Raiders head coach Pete Carroll had to admit that they needed to take things slowly with Jeanty. While he acknowledged that they hadn't done much to put Jeanty in a position to succeed, he remains optimistic about the RB's prospects. "We're just getting started (with Jeanty)," Carroll told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "He's breaking into the NFL. He's figuring it out. He'll get more carries. We have to run the ball more effectively. We only got (68 yards), and that's not enough. We need more than that. We're bringing (Jeanty) along. More will come." Ashton Jeanty knows he has to do better Jeanty is averaging 2.7 yards per attempt, which is a far cry from his 6.4 yards per carry in college. At least he knows he has to be better, and he believes it's just a matter of time before he gets used to the speed of the pros. "Last week it was on me, I didn't do a good job of reading the plays. I'll put it on myself again this week," Jeanty said. "Just getting used to the speed, honestly. Last week kind of felt like I was moving a little slower, this week felt better. Still not there yet, but once it happens, it will be good." Jeanty continued commenting on the situation on Wednesday. He didn't mince words. Jeanty has posted the fewest rushing yards (81) among players with at least 30 carries, and his next chance to turn the page will come in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders' beatable run defense.
Clippers Were 'Terrified' Of Losing Kawhi Leonard After Ditching Spurs
The Clippers’ handling of Kawhi Leonard was anything but casual. According to a report from Baxter Holmes, the team enforced a strict protocol for how staff could speak publicly about their star forward, with one insider explaining just how much fear surrounded the situation. “If this guy is willing to tell the Spurs to go f*ck themselves, he’s not going to hesitate to tell us,” a Clippers source told ESPN's Baxter Holmes. “Everybody was afraid of Kawhi leaving.” It's obvious why the Clippers didn't want to lose Kawhi Leonard. When he's on the court, he's one of the best two-way players available as a two-time champion, two-time Finals MVP, and six-time NBA All-Star. With career averages of 20.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, he has very few holes in his game, and his impact on teammates is major. Back in 2019, Kawhi's stock was at an all-time high after coming off a championship with the Raptors. When he hit free agency, several teams raced to earn his commitment, all while he and his camp made illegal demands in the form of ownership stock, exclusive endorsement deals, and even a house. Those requests only came just two years removed from a bitter war with the Spurs, where he held out on the team and refused to play for them despite being cleared by team doctors. At the time, his camp claimed distrust of the Spurs' medical staff, and it was enough to effectively end his good relationship with the team right there. By the time 2019 free agency came around, Kawhi already had a history of sowing chaos, and it should have been a warning to the teams hoping to sign him. After a relatively quick process, Leonard joined the Clippers that summer, and it was supposed to usher in a new era of prosperity for the franchise. Instead, it's been nothing but disappointment with just three playoff series wins over the past six years. To make matters even worse, Kawhi hasn't been particularly easy to deal with. He reportedly doesn't communicate with the organization and often keeps them in the dark about which way he's feeling. That's on top of the injury struggles and load management practices, which have limited him to just 157 games over the past four seasons. Despite Kawhi's failures to lead the Clippers, they've done everything to appease him for fear of losing their biggest star since Chris Paul. Knowing what he did to the Spurs, the Clippers were determined to make it work with Leonard and ensure his happiness by whatever means necessary. Now, however, the situation has changed. Amid the latest scandal and his lack of achievements in Los Angeles, many on the Clippers are ready to move on from Leonard. His tenure has been a complete disaster, and the thought of losing Kawhi now might bring more feelings of relief than terror. With another two years and $100.3 million on his contract, Leonard is likely to play this out in Clipperland, but it's possible he could force his way out if he grows restless with the situation in Los Angeles. Until then, the Clippers have to do what they can to make the most of his presence and try to win a championship before losing their most talented star.
