Inter Milan are about to move to sign 31-goal striker who Tottenham want to replace Harry Kane

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that Inter Milan are about to launch a bid to sign reported Tottenham Hotspur target Mehdi Taremi.

 

Tavolieri took to social media platform X on Tuesday morning and shared an update on Taremi’s future.

Harry Kane’s future remains up in the air, with the striker into the final year of his contract at Tottenham.

The 29-year-old is receiving strong interest from Bayern Munich and Tottenham have knocked back the German champions’ latest offer worth around £86 million.

But Spurs are still exploring their options in the event that Kane does depart this summer, with Mehdi Taremi reportedly a target.

Indeed, Portuguese outlet A Bola reports that Tottenham have made their first move to sign Taremi.

Now, it seems Spurs could face a battle with both AC Milan and Inter for the 31-year-old’s signature.

Tavolieri claims Inter are readying an opening offer to sign Taremi, with AC Milan also ready to make another move.

The Porto striker has apparently already agreed a four-year deal with AC Milan, but Porto are holding out for a £25.8 million fee.

Taremi netted a staggering 31 goals in all competitions for Porto last season and has found the back of the net frequently for the Portuguese giants over the years.

But at 31, he may not be the kind of profile Tottenham would favour should they need to replace Kane.

There’s no doubt that the Iran international boasts a brilliant record in front of goal, but Spurs seem to building for the long-term future under Postecoglou.

Indeed, Spurs have also been linked with moves for the likes of Brennan Johnson and Gift Orban – two players that would arguably be more suited to the club’s long-term project.

After Tottenham rejected Bayern Munich’s latest €100m (£86m) latest offer for Kane, The Daily Mail reported on Monday that the striker now looks increasingly likely to stay at Spurs.

However, the publication added that the 30-year-old is expected to see out his contract and leave on a free next summer, and does not have any intention of penning a new deal for the time being.

Meanwhile, The Evening Standard also reported this morning that Kane is now leaning towards remaining at Tottenham, with the striker said to be enjoying working with Ange Postecoglou

If he does stay this summer, Spurs fans will be hoping that the striker changes his mind and commits his future to the club if he sees signs of progress under the Australian.

New lifetime boot deal for Harry Kane

Footy Headlines have now revealed that Kane has indeed penned a long-term commitment, not with his boyhood club, but with Skechers.

The publication reveals that Skechers have a performance department that produces high-end running shoes and golf shoes, and it is likely that Kane’s football boots belong to the Skechers Performance range.

The Tottenham man is alleged to have debuted the new boots in a friendly match against Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday.

If Kane did debut the new Sketchers boots against Shakhtar, he certainly could not have hoped for a much better trial run, with the striker netting four goals against the Ukrainian side.
