Leeds United Offered Chance To Sign Inter Milan & Iran Veteran Striker
Premier League newcomers Leeds United reportedly have the opportunity to sign Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi. According to reports in Iran via FCInterNews, Taremi’s agents have offered him to the Whites.
Despite being closely followed by Besiktas, the 33-year-old is keen to move to the Premier League. Meanwhile, Fulham and Nottingham Forest have emerged as potential destinations.
However, they’ve yet to make a formal approach. Therefore, Taremi’s representatives have decided to take a more proactive approach.
Indeed, they’ve offered their client’s services to Leeds, who will take some time to evaluate the proposal before making a decision.
Inter Milan & Iran Striker Waits For Premier League Offers Despite Verbal Agreement With Besiktas
Besiktas have already agreed on personal terms with the former Porto center-forward. However, the player has put the transfer on hold as he has other plans.
Indeed, Taremi is still hoping to secure a move to the Premier League. Several English clubs, including Fulham and Nottingham Forest, have shown interest in his services.

Iran revives currency redenomination bill but keeps 'rial' as official unit
The new currency unit will be worth IRR 10,000, effectively removing four zeros from the current denomination / CC: EcoIran
By bne IntelliNews August 3, 2025
Iran’s long-standing plan to slash four zeros from its national currency is once again advancing through parliament, as the Economic Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Iranian parliament) approved a revised version of the bill on August 3.
However, MPs opted to retain the 'rial' as the official currency unit, rejecting the government's proposal to rename it ‘toman,’ as was initially announced as part of the plan.
According to Shamseddin Hosseini, head of the Economic Commission, the bill – originally introduced by the Rouhani administration as part of broader monetary reform – required revision following the enactment of the new Central Bank law in 2023, which rendered several articles of the old monetary and banking law obsolete.
“The key structure remains intact,” Hosseini told reporters. “The new currency unit will be worth IRR10,000, effectively removing four zeros from the current denomination. One new rial will be subdivided into 100 ‘qerans’, reviving a historic unit as the fractional denomination.”
The initial government draft had proposed switching the official currency name to the more commonly used ‘toman’ and using ‘qeran’ as the subunit. However, lawmakers cited Article 58(a) of the Central Bank Law, which explicitly defines ‘rial’ as the legal tender, to maintain continuity.
The commission also addressed concerns from the Guardian Council regarding Iran’s obligations to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Hosseini assured that the re-denomination would not affect Iran’s international financial commitments, as the existing law governing IMF membership remains in force.
Although the bill is still pending a full vote in the Majles (parliament), latest decision reaffirms Iran’s determination to simplify monetary transactions, ease accounting burdens, and restore symbolic credibility to the currency, albeit without a name change.
The redenomination initiative, first floated in 2008 and formally submitted in 2019, had repeatedly stalled due to political uncertainty and economic volatility. If passed, implementation would take place gradually, involving dual-currency circulation, updated banknotes, and public awareness campaigns.

Donald Trump fires person behind jobs numbers after they're revised down President Donald Trump on Friday fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of labor statistics, after July's U.S. job numbers were revised down.
"I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory," Trump posted on Truth Social, referring to former Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
"This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers."

This city could run dry ‘within weeks’ as it grapples with an acute water crisis
CNN —
Iran’s capital Tehran could be weeks away from “day zero,” experts say — the day when taps run dry for large parts of the city — as the country suffers a severe water crisis. Key reservoirs are shrinking, authorities are scrambling to reduce water consumption and residents are desperately trying to conserve it to stave off catastrophe.
“If we do not make urgent decisions today, we will face a situation in the future that cannot be solved,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said at a cabinet meeting Monday.
Iran Star Set To Return To Inter Milan Training Tomorrow Amid Transfer Links
Mehdi Taremi is to return to Inter Milan’s preseason training tomorrow despite strong links away this summer.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Striker Mehdi Taremi was not among the players to return to Inter Milan’s preseason training last weekend.
The reason was that Inter had granted the 33-year-old a few extra days of vacation.
This after Taremi had to go through the stressful ordeal of being unable to leave his home country of Iran amid Israeli airstrikes in June.
However, the Corriere dello Sport report, Taremi’s vacation will come to an end imminently.
The newspaper report that the former Porto striker will join up with Inter’s preseason training camp tomorrow.
Nevertheless, the Corriere report, Taremi still has little place in the Nerazzurri’s plans for next season.
It is expected that the Iranian international will leave Inter this summer. Furthermore, the player himself is reportedly ready to accept a move away.
Therefore, Taremi’s stay at Inter will likely only be temporary. He will keep fit in preseason training, in anticipation of a move away in August.

Mehdi Taremi’s track record of scoring goals is impressive
Last summer, Inter Milan signed Taremi on a three-year contract following his contract expiry with Porto. And whilst he flopped with Inter, Taremi has a very impressive track record in the Premeira Liga with Porto, scoring an incredible 91 goals in 181 total games, or a goal every other game.
In the 2022-23 season alone, Taremi scored 31 goals in 51 total games for the Portuguese giants, including five in seven Champions League games that season. The two-time Iranian Footballer of the Year, and the Premeira Liga top scorer twice, Taremi is still hot property despite being 33 years old, and a first stint in England could be on the horizon.

And for Leeds United, it could be a bit of a bargain deal. Reports claim that Inter want just £9m for Taremi this summer, making him a very affordable option, especially considering the fact that Leeds have already spent well this summer, with their reported £150m transfer budget steadily being chipped away at.
There would certainly be doubts over Taremi given his poor last season at Inter and the fact that he’s never played in England before, but his track record with Porto and on the international stage with Iran suggests that he’s someone with great experience who could well be suited to English football, given the chance.

مسابقه فوتبال بین ایران و اسرائیل در سال ۱۳۴۷ (۱۹۶۸ میلادی) یکی از دیدارهای مهم و تاریخی برای فوتبال ایران بود. در آن سالها، تیم ملی فوتبال ایران و اسرائیل هر دو در منطقه آسیا رقابت میکردند و مسابقاتی را در چارچوب تورنمنتهای آسیایی برگزار میکردند.
نکته مهم این است که پس از انقلاب اسلامی سال ۱۳۵۷ ایران روابط ورزشی بین ایران و اسرائیل بهطور کامل قطع شد و دیگر هیچ مسابقه رسمی بین دو کشور برگزار نشد. تصاویر کمتر دیده شده این دیدار تاریخی فوتبال در استادیوم ورزشی امجدیه را تماشا کنید.
