Mehdi Taremi's future with Olympiacos is uncertain following his exclusion from the team's European list for the Champions League qualifying rounds. The 34-year-old Iranian striker, who has a contract until 2027, is being considered by LOSC Lille. Lille has inquired about the player and is monitoring his situation. The Brazilian club Vasco da Gama had also previously shown interest. Taremi informed the Olympiacos management of his desire to leave for a club offering more playing time and a leading role. The reason for this is reportedly due to difficulties with coach José Luis Mendilibar and an unwillingness to remain on the bench. A summer transfer is being considered because of competition for attacking positions at the Greek club. Lille finished third in Ligue 1 last season and will participate in the Champions League. The forward has 107 caps and 58 goals for Iran. Last season, he recorded 10 goals and 4 assists in 19 Super League 1 appearances. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is currently €2.00m. Olympiacos signed Taremi in August 2025 for a fee that was reported to be between €2.0 million and €2.5 million.
