Iran striker Taremi joins UAE Pro League leaders Al Wasl
Mehdi Taremi arrives at the club for an undisclosed amount, bringing a wealth of experience from his spells at Porto and Inter Milan.
Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi has joined UAE Pro League champions Al Wasl from Greek club Olympiacos, the Emirati team announced on Saturday. The 34-year-old signed a contract extending to June 30, 2027, though the transfer fee remained undisclosed. Taremi brings a wealth of experience to Al Wasl, having played for Porto and Inter Milan, where he cemented his status as one of Asia's premier forwards.
He was part of Iran's national team during the 2026 World Cup in North America, where they were eliminated in the group stage after drawing all three matches.
Taremi's addition bolsters Al Wasl's already formidable squad, which has begun the season strongly, claiming both of their opening league games and topping the UAE Pro League table. The club is also set to compete in the AFC Champions League Elite following their third-place finish in the domestic league last season. They are scheduled to face Saudi side Al Qadsiah in an upcoming match on September 14.
