In search of a top striker, Olympique de Marseille is actively looking for happiness on the transfer market. The Marseille club is tracking an extremely coveted player whose signing may be difficult.
With the official departure of Alexis Sanchez and that of Arkadiusz Milik to Juventus in Turin, OM badly need a striker for next season. Because for the moment, Vitinha does not present enough guarantees. While Marseille will soon participate in the preliminary round in order to definitively access the Champions League, the recruitment of an attacker is essential. If several names are associated with OM, for the moment, no player is close to putting down his luggage at the Commanderie. However, according to information from O Jogo, Mehdi Taremi, very courted on the transfer market, is also being tracked by OM. Pablo Longoria particularly appreciated the profile of the FC Porto striker who comes out of a season with 31 goals with the Dragons. The only downside is that the competition is (very) tough.
OM are eyeing Taremi, the Premier League too

The Portuguese media argue that OM are not the only ones on the case since many Premier League clubs have set their sights on the 30-year-old player. And not just any because it is Arsenal and Manchester United who follow Mehdi Taremi. Tottenham are also in on the action and will certainly be even more interested if Harry Kane were to leave Spurs. AC Milan is the other team that wants to enlist the Iranian international (69 caps). At the end of the contract in a year, Mehdi Taremi is valued at 18 million euros according to the Transfermarkt site. A sum within the reach of OM but which will have to be persuasive because the leaders of the old continent have more substantial means to offer a bigger salary to number 9 of Team Melli. Author of 80 goals in 147 appearances with FC Porto, Taremi is a benchmark for his position in Portugal and has the qualities to win in a top 5 European club. Marseille is on the lookout.
