Turkish heavyweights Besiktas are still hoping to sign Inter Milan flop Mehdi Taremi despite growing interest from Brazil.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Istanbul club would ideally land the 33-year-old on loan.

New Inter boss Cristian Chivu has put Mehdi Taremi on the chopping block.

Indeed, after a terrible first season at San Siro, the Iranian international is ready to pack his bags.

However, he would preferably stay in Europe.

Besiktas Hopeful of Signing Inter Milan Bust Mehdi Taremi

Despite drawing interest from Brazil, Taremi is not enthusiastic about moving to South America.

Therefore, he has already turned down moves to both Botafogo and Flamengo.

Meanwhile, the former Porto center-forward is waiting for offers from the Premier League.

Although Fulham and Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on Taremi, they haven’t submitted formal offers.

That leaves the door open for Besiktas to swoop and steal the veteran striker.

However, the Turks are gunning for a loan deal.

On the other hand, Inter and the player prefer a permanent transfer.
