Mehdi Taremi’s value is three times that of Diego Maradona.
Mehdi Taremi is currently the most valuable player on Iran’s national team.
Mehdi Taremi’s price indicates that he is worth three times the amount for which Diego Maradona transferred from Barcelona to Napoli 38 years ago. However, the 20 million euros value of Mehdi Taremi, announced by the Transfermarkt website, 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 world record for football at the time. In the era when Maradona joined Napoli, the highest amount an Iranian player had transferred to Gulf teams was at most 50,000 dollars.
On the other hand, the combined value of players like Mehdi Taremi and Sardar Azmoun is higher than the total value of all the players on our national team, indicating the high worth of these two men compared to the rest of Iran’s national team.
These days, Mehdi Taremi is valued as much as some of the famous current European football players.
