Author of three goals and a decisive pass with AC Milan during the first two days of Serie A, Olivier Giroud, still as essential at 36, will alternate with a new center forward in the coming weeks, in the league but also in the League. champions (the Lombard club is in pot 3 of the group stage draw on Thursday at 6 p.m.). Mehdi Taremi is close to landing.
The Rossoneri are still negotiating the terms of the transfer with FC Porto for the Iranian striker, but the two clubs have already agreed on a compensation of 15 million euros before various bonuses, as indicated Calciomercato. The transaction should be finalized in the next few hours. The Dragons agree to sell their 31-year-old striker, who only has one year left on his contract.
The 2022 Italian champion has already recruited wingers Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor, each time for around 20 million euros, and therefore completes his summer transfer window with an experienced center forward. Taremi comes out of a season with 31 goals in 51 matches. He finished top scorer in the Portuguese league and scored five times in the UCL. A profile different from that of Giroud but which can prove valuable for Stefano Pioli.
