A host of top clubs are said to have set their sights on Vuskovic, who is actually under contract at Tottenham Hotspur until 2030. Yet even the Spurs seem to have outgrown him by now. According to reports, FC Barcelona are already in talks with the youngster, who is represented by Pini Zahavi and maintains a good relationship with president Joan Laporta, whilst also keeping in touch with manager Hansi Flick. 

Real Madrid, Liverpool FC and Chelsea are also said to be interested. FC Bayern Munich and BVB are also said to be keeping a close eye on Vuskovic’s situation, but are likely to be outbid financially, just like Barca. At the very least, the German record champions would be unlikely to part with more than 60 million euros, which is currently being touted as the minimum fee for a transfer. Especially as there is currently no cause for concern regarding the centre-back duo of Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah.

“We can’t just sign every good player whom the public thinks absolutely must join Bayern Munich,” sporting director Max Eberl said recently on the matter, referring also to the powerful supervisory board led by honorary president Uli Hoeneß and former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “Because at some point the other side will come along and say: ‘Max, we’re not just throwing money around. We can’t just keep bloating the squad like that.’ (…)”
