USMNT Olympic star Tanner Tessman linked with blockbuster Inter Milan move from newly-promoted Venezia in Serie A

Gianluca Di Marzio report that the Serie A champions have opened talks with Venezia for the American midfielder. The 22-year-old has been discussed as a summer purchase for the Nerazzurri, but he would be loaned back to the Venice-based club for the 2024/25 season.

Tessman netted seven times for Venezia in 2023/24, including a brilliant goal in their promotion playoffs semifinal vs Palermo.

The Texas native has been an outstanding player for the now-Serie A side, but has also put in his shifts on the international stage. He's become a clear favorite for U23 USMNT Olympics boss Marko Mitrovic, and is expected to lead the midfield line at the Paris Games this summer.

Tessman was promoted with Venezia for the second time this season. He was on the squad in 2021 when they made their way from Serie B to Serie A as well.

The midfielder will look to represent his country at the Paris Games this summer, with a finalized roster expected in early July. Following the conclusion to the Olympics, a potential transfer to the Serie A champions may arise.
