Fiorentina are reportedly looking to bolster their midfield with the addition of two U.S. men’s national team players – Weston McKennie and Tanner Tessmann. After securing a deal for Andrea Colpani from Monza, the Serie A club has turned its attention to the American pair as they aim to improve upon last season’s eighth-place finish.
Goal.com report that McKennie, currently with Juventus, has been linked with a move away from Turin this summer. While Premier League clubs like Aston Villa and Tottenham had shown interest, no concrete offers have materialized. The 25-year-old midfielder spent the latter half of last season on loan at Leeds United.
Tessmann, on the other hand, played a crucial role in helping Venezia secure promotion back to Serie A. His performances have caught the eye of several top-flight Italian clubs.
The potential move could reunite the USMNT teammates at club level. McKennie is the more experienced of the two on the international stage, having earned 56 caps for the national team since his debut in 2017. Tessmann, by comparison, has made just two appearances for the USMNT since his first call-up in 2021.
As the transfer window progresses, both players will be awaiting further developments. With the new Serie A season set to begin next month, McKennie and Tessmann will be focused on their pre-season preparations, whether at their current clubs or potentially at Fiorentina.
This move could provide both players with regular playing time in one of Europe’s top leagues, potentially boosting their prospects with the national team as well.
