Tehran, IRNA – Manchester United and Bayern Munich are competing to attract Iranian legionnaire Mahdi Taremi, UK media reported.

“Harry Kane is the dream signing, though that deal looks all but dead in the water already,” oldtraffordfaithful said.

"Spurs’ asking price is far too high," so Manchester United is now looking elsewhere.

If Manchester United is looking for "a stopgap solution", Taremi can be one, it wrote, adding, "The FC Porto forward spent the last four years in Portugal’s top flight, scoring goals for fun."

The website also wrote that to buy Taremi, Manchester United will "face competition from Bayern Munich, who are ready to spend around £13m ‘or more’ to bring in the prolific forward."

Taremi was nicknamed the Persian Gulf Boy after celebrating his 100th match in Porto’s jersey on August 20, 2022.
