Brentford approached Tanner Tessmann last winter. Olympique Lyonnais may sell Tanner Tessmann due to a need to generate funds and are open to making a significant profit on the player, who was signed for €6 million from Venezia in 2024. Olympique Lyonnais is expecting offers between €20 and €25 million. Several English and Italian clubs are interested in the profile of the 24-year-old international, according to The Athletic.

A French recruiter for a Premier League club stated his belief that Lyon would have been open to selling Tanner Tessmann this winter, explaining the player is not a suitable fit for Paulo Fonseca's system. Brentford approached the player, however, the move did not particularly interest Tessmann. The midfielder is under contract with Lyon until 2029 and has made 23 appearances and scored one goal in Ligue 1 this season.
