The striker is not part of their plans now that Cristian Chivu has taken over the squad this season, and had missed the FIFA Club World Cup because he was stuck in Iran during the fragile geo-political situation.
Now that he is able to finally begin pre-season training, it will not be with the senior Nerazzurri squad.
Taremi relegated to Inter Under-23 team

Instead, Sky Sport Italia report the 33-year-old will be working with players a decade his junior, training with Stefano Vecchi’s new Under-23 team.
It is a way of having him in a holding pattern awaiting a transfer, which it seems increasingly likely will be to the Premier League.
There has been interest from Fulham, Leeds United and West Ham United, as well as Besiktas in Turkey.
Both Flamengo and Botafogo also made an approach, but Taremi reportedly wants to remain in Europe.
