Genoa considers Mehdi Taremi for striker position

Summary

Genoa is exploring options for a new center-forward, with former Inter striker Mehdi Taremi among the names under consideration. Reports indicate that Taremi, who scored 16 goals for Olympiacos last season and participated in the recent World Cup, is not the top priority for Genoa, who prefer Evan Ferguson. However, complications surrounding Ferguson's recovery from ankle surgery could impact that pursuit. Genoa is also monitoring Lorenzo Lucca, as well as international forwards Milutin Osmajic and Tawfik Bentayeb, as the transfer window nears its deadline.
