Several teams, including West Ham, Fulham, and Nottingham Forest, were also interested in Taremi. However, Leeds is now almost certain to secure the deal for the centre-forward.

Taremi had other offers from Brazilian clubs Botafogo and Flamengo. He turned them down, preferring to continue his career in Europe.

The transfer fee for Taremi has not been announced yet. Inter Milan took him from Porto for free and expects to sell him for cash.
