Atletico Madrid Nearing Deal for Tanner Tessmann

Atletico Madrid continues its efforts to strengthen its midfield by reopening negotiations to sign American midfielder Tanner Tessmann, who plays in the French league.

The "Fichajes" website indicated that the Spanish club has renewed its interest in the player after a previous attempt to sign him during the winter transfer window, as he has become one of the top options on the sports management's table.

Tiesman is 24 years old, and his value is estimated between 20 and 25 million euros, while his club, Olympique Lyonnais, seeks to make a financial gain from his sale after signing him for 6 million euros.

The player has 14 international caps with the United States national team and has scored one goal. He also participated in 41 matches in the French league this season, scoring two goals, which has attracted the attention of several European clubs.

Atletico Madrid prioritizes strengthening the midfield, especially with the imminent departure of captain Koke, alongside coach Diego Simeone's desire to add a player with physical strength and tactical ability.

Tiesman's contract with Olympique Lyon extends until 2029, but the French club is open to selling him if a suitable offer comes in, while Atletico plans to initiate negotiations in the near future to finalize the deal.
