Botafogo showed interest in 33-year-old Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi, but he was negative about moving to Brazil. Instead, he was more inclined towards a move to the Premier League. However, this did not materialize. Currently, his name is linked with several other European clubs, including Olympiacos, who are actively pursuing his acquisition. His contract with Inter Milan is set to expire in June 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.5 million.
