The news first reported by A BOLA on Friday has been confirmed. After a season with Olympiacos in Greece, Mehdi Taremi has departed European football for the Middle East, where he will now play for Al Wasl.
The transfer of the 34-year-old Iranian forward was made official this Saturday. In the United Arab Emirates, the former Rio Ave and FC Porto player will be coached by a fellow Portuguese national: Rui Vitória.
Al Wasl reportedly paid approximately 1.5 million euros for Taremi's acquisition, a figure that matches the striker's release clause. He still had one year remaining on his contract with the Piraeus-based club.
After seven seasons on the Old Continent, the Iranian international returns to Asia, where he previously played for Bushehr, Iranjavan, Persepolis (all in Iran), and Qatari club Al Gharafa.
