Taremi: Ronaldo Nazario Greatest Player in History
TEHRAN (Tasnim)– Iranian international striker Mehdi Taremi says that Brazilian legendary forward Ronaldo Nazario is his idol.
The Iranian’s fate has been clear for months. He decided in January that he will join the Nerazzurri on a free transfer when his contract with Porto expires.
The 31-year-old striker will aim to make the most of this summer as his prepares for his first season wearing the Inter shirt.
Taremi had his pick of clubs for this summer, as he did not need Porto to agree a deal. And the Iranian settled on Inter.
As he reveals, it was not a hard decision or one that required too much consideration.
Taremi revealed that “I only had one meeting with the Porto directors regarding extending my contract. I gave my demands, and they said ‘no.’ And that was the end of the story there.”
“I consider Portugal to be my second home. The feelings of the Porto fans had a big impact on my personal life. I told them that I’ll remain a Porto fan until I die,” the striker admitted.
Taremi then hinted at his possible shirt number at Inter. “If 99 is free, I’d like to take it.”
And the Iranian gave his reason for wanting that number.
“Ronaldo Nazario is the greatest player in history. He’s my idol.”
