Born in the United States on the 24th of September, 2001, Tanner Tessmann is a central midfielder currently plying his trade in Italy, for Serie A outfit, Venezia. At a strapping 6ft 2in and weighing in at a sturdy 13st, he is notable for his strength on the pitch. The number 8 has also pulled on the stars and stripes for his national side, representing the United States.
With a market value hovering around £6m (€7.00m) according to Transfermarkt, Tessmann is under contract with Venezia until the summer of 2025 with just under a year left.
His contributions were vital in Venezia's 2023 - 2024 Serie B Play-off campaign, notching a single goal in his four starts. That same year, he was also picked to represent the United States in the Olympics, providing a sturdy presence in the midfield in his four starts.
Tessmann began his professional career as a trainee with Major League Soccer side, FC Dallas, in February 2020. A year and a half later, in July 2021, Tessmann packed his bags and shipped off to Italy, with Venezia parting with around £3.3m to secure his services.
In his debut season in America in 2020, Tessmann made 19 features for FC Dallas's first team. His appearances decreased the following season to just 7, sparking the move abroad. Once in Italy, Tessmann slotted into the first team squad, making 20 appearances in his first season in the 2021 - 2022 campaign.
In the 2022 - 2023 season, Tessmann's presence in the squad had become undeniable, featuring 32 times and chipping in 3 goals. The following campaign, the 2023 - 2024 season, he exceeded expectations, scoring 6 goals in his 37 appearances. However, in the current 2024 - 2025 season, Tessmann is yet to make an appearance.
