According to TheAthletic, Atletico Madrid's winter bid for Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tessmann was rejected, and the player is expected to leave in the summer.
It is reported that US national team midfielder Tessmann is expected to leave Olympique Lyonnais this summer, with several English and Italian clubs interested in him. Olympique Lyonnais's asking price for his transfer is between 20 million and 25 million euros.
According to sources, Atletico Madrid made an offer during the winter transfer window this year. If the deal had gone through, he would have played alongside compatriot midfielder Johnny Cardoso, but Olympique Lyonnais rejected the offer at the time. Tessmann himself was very comfortable in France and ultimately stayed with the team for the entire season.
Tessmann transferred from Venezia to Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2024, rejecting offers from several Serie A teams to join Ligue 1. His current contract is valid until 2029.
Despite a recent muscle strain, Tessmann is still very likely to be selected for the US team's roster for the 2026 World Cup this summer. It is understood that he will first focus on preparing for the World Cup, and after the tournament, he will weigh subsequent transfer offers and finalize his future.
