U.S. Olympic hopeful Tanner Tessmann may be on the brink of a massive summer transfer.
Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that Serie A champions Inter have started transfer talks with Venezia over the 22-year-old.
Tessmann was virtually ever-present for the Venice-based club as it clinched promotion from Serie B this season, playing alongside fellow U.S. under-23 midfielder Gianluca Busio.
The Texas native scored seven times for Venezia, including a spectacular long-range strike against Palermo during the promotion playoffs.
Per the report, Inter and Venezia met on Wednesday, with discussions moving towards the Nerazzuri acquiring Tessmann and then loaning him back to the Venetians for the 2024-25 season.
Tessmann's performance didn't just catch Inter's eye. Rumors have connected Bologna and Torino to interest in signing the box-to-box midfielder, while Venezia was said to be ready to offer a contract extension.
