Mehdi Taremi’s value is three times that of Diego Maradona
Mehdi Taremi is the most valuable player of the Iranian national team these days
Mehdi Taremi’s price shows that he is worth three times the amount for which Diego Maradona transferred from Barcelona to Napoli 38 years ago. Of course, 20 million euros is Mehdi Taremi’s value as announced by the Transfermarkt website, and it differs from the transfer fee. Sometimes the transfer fee is higher than the player’s value, and sometimes it’s lower.
Maradona transferred to Napoli for 7 million dollars in 1984, which was considered a record in the football world at the time. In the era when Maradona joined Napoli, the highest amount for which an Iranian player transferred to the Persian Gulf teams was at most 50,000 dollars.
On the other hand, the combined value of players like Mehdi Taremi and Sardar Azmoun is more than the combined value of all the players in our national team, which indicates the high value of these two men compared to the rest of the Iranian national team.
These days, Mehdi Taremi has a value comparable to some of the famous current European football players.
