Porto striker Mehdi Taremi has revealed he rejected an approach from Newcastle United last year. 'At that time, I didn’t imagine that Newcastle would get such a good team that would qualify for the Champions League.'
Ten Hag ‘seriously Looking’ At 31-goal Ex-Newcastle Target With ‘two Factors Bringing His Price Down’
Taremi scored an impressive 31 goals and provided a further 14 assists for the Portuguese giants last season.Since then, he has won two Portuguese Cups, one Portuguese League Cup and one Portuguese league title. The report says Ten Hag has been following the Iranian international for a while and could land him for a very decent price.
This means Porto will ask for a little more than €20m, which is very good considering his goal record for the Portuguese side, but can be seen as a slight risk as the 30-year-old has never played in the Premier League.It was claimed the Red Devils have been ‘seriously looking’ into signing the Iran striker.He says he did not see the Magpies qualifying for the Champions League 18 months later, believing “staying at FC Porto was better” at the time he was approached.
