He has reportedly joined Porto on a 4.5-million-euro deal.
Taremi scored 18 goals for Rio Ave in the 2019-20 season and helped the team book a place at the 2020-21 Europa League play-off round.
Despite the interest from Sporting Lison, Taremi ended up heading to FC Porto and is the fourth official confirmed for 2020/21 after Cláudio Ramos, Carraça, and Zaidu.
“I always had the dream of playing in the Champions League and in a big club. I am very happy about this situation. Being the first Iranian player at FC Porto, a club from Portugal that is one of the greatest in the world, I am very happy for all this”, he shared with the club’s media.
