Liverpool have discussed a potential summer move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Luka Vuskovic, who is spending the season on loan at Hamburg, according to German publication Bild.
The Anfield side are believed to be among several European clubs monitoring the highly promising Croatian centre-back amid his impressive debut season in the Bundesliga.
Vuskovic is unlikely to play for Spurs next season amid their looming threat of Premier League relegation, as he reportedly wants to test himself in a continental competition.
Tottenham signed Vuskovic back in 2023, but the ‘outstanding’ Croatian only officially joined Spurs last summer, penning a deal until June 2030.
Liverpool Eyeing Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic
According to Bild, several Champions League clubs, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, are now seriously considering Vuskovic following his impressive first season at Hamburg.
The 19-year-old defender is considered a ‘mega-talent’ in European football and appears to be a concrete target for Barcelona, with former midfielder Ivan Rakitic recommending the club sign him.
Real Madrid reportedly view Vuskovic as a potential alternative to Liverpool’s own Ibrahima Konate, who remains of interest to Los Blancos ahead of his contract expiry.
If Konate ends up leaving Anfield this summer, the Reds are likely to target a replacement and have already internally discussed a potential move for Vuskovic.
Liverpool Working on Salah Replacement
Liverpool appear to be heading for another busy summer transfer window as they look to replace Mohamed Salah following his bombshell exit announcement.
On Tuesday, the Egyptian forward shared an emotional goodbye video on his social media accounts, confirming that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Liverpool’s search for Salah’s successor appears to be well underway, with both RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise on the radar.
The Reds oversaw an unprecedented summer of spending in 2025, splashing out £415m on new arrivals, including a club-record £125m on striker Alexander Isak.
Why Top Clubs Want Luka Vuskovic
Amid growing interest in Vuskovic around Europe, we asked ChatGPT to outline the qualities that make the 19-year-old defender stand out in today’s game:
Elite potential at a young age – The centre-back made his senior debut for Hajduk Split at just 16, showing composure, physicality, and maturity well beyond his age.
Ball-playing defender – Vuskovic is comfortable progressing the ball, breaking lines with passes, and carrying forward – traits modern top clubs prioritise in centre-backs.
Size and defensive intelligence – At around 1.93m, he is dominant in the air while also reading the game well, making him suited to both high-line and possession-based systems.
