Tanner Tessmann’s presumed move to Inter may not be fully sealed after all.
A source close to the situation has told Pro Soccer Wire that the Venezia midfielder has recently seen offers come in from Premier League side Everton as well as Dutch power Feyenoord.
Inter still very well could land Tessmann, with reports this week indicating that a deal was close to being done. The Serie A champion would reportedly plan on signing Tessmann and then loaning him abroad for a season.
The source said that Inter remains heavily involved but that the landing spot for the U.S. men’s national team midfielder “is still open.”
Parma also remains in the mix to land Tessmann, a 22-year-old central midfielder who played 3,146 minutes (37 appearances) last year for Venezia in Serie B.
Tessmann tallied six goals and three assists in league play, adding a goal in the Serie B playoff semifinal that helped Venezia earn promotion to Italy’s top flight.
According to the source, Venezia is currently looking for a transfer fee between €7-8 million for the Alabama native.
Twice capped by the USMNT, Tessmann was announced this week as part of the roster for the Olympic team that will play in the Paris games starting this month.
At a Men In Blazers event in New York this week, Tessmann stayed mum when asked on stage about the rumors linking him to Inter.
“There’s no news that I can share today,” he said. “Just trying to focus on the Olympics, honestly.”
