Star Venezia Midfielder Eyed by Inter Still in Limbo

Tanner Tessmann has been close to multiple sides this summer, including Inter, but none came to terms with his camp. Venezia banished him from their squad since he asked out and has just a year on his contract, Calciomercato informs.

The Nerazzurri had agreed to a partial swap with Gaetano Pio Oristanio early in the summer. However, the purchase wasn’t finalized primarily due to the commissions requested by his entourage, around €2.2M. He would have had a €6/7M valuation. Moreover, he had reservations about going out on loan initially. He turned down going back to the Laguna. Everton were the frontrunners before the Italian champions called off their pursuit.

After Inter backtracked, Fiorentina shook hands with Venezia, but the deal collapsed for the same reason, even though Tessman gladly accepted the destination. La Viola bounced back with Amir Richardson from Reims. They are still keen on Weston McKennie. However, he could be surprisingly reinstated by Juventus as he’s more willing to negotiate a renewal now, Sky informs.

The last team who will take a stab in trying to sign the USMNT representative is Torino and his former coach Paolo Vanoli, La Stampa informs. They need to sell one man first, likely Ivan Ilic, who’s wanted by Zenit, although such a negotiation is lagging, Olympique Marseille and a pair of Premier League clubs. They hope to have better luck than Fiorentina and Inter in the dealings with the Tessmann entourage. The commissions might be problematic for them too. Since he would have been a signing for the future, the Nerazzurri elected not to target other options.
