Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £50m deal to sell Luka Vuskovic to Brighton and Hove Albion this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Spurs have had a very busy transfer window so far, completing deals for Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka, while a move for Mateus Fernandes is on the verge of being completed for a club-record fee of £85m.
But the club are now working on outgoings alongside those incoming deals, and a deal with Brighton for young defender Vuskovic has now been finalised by all parties,
Tottenham and Brighton Agree Vuskovic Deal
Vuskovic, who has been described as 'exceptional', enjoyed a sensational season on loan at Hamburg in the 2025/26 season and had initially been expected to return to north London to compete for a starting place.
But the defender asked to leave to further his development elsewhere with more regular playing time, and after having a number of bids rejected, Brighton have now agreed to pay £46m plus £4m in bonuses to get a deal done for the Croatia international.
Spurs have agreed a deal that will see them continue to hold a 20% sell-on clause over his future, while they will also have matching rights if he moves on, allowing them to retain control over his future somewhat.
Romano adds that Tottenham are now ready to go 'all in' for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali with the new incoming funds, which could see the Italian join in a deal that would exceed the fee that is to be paid for Fernandes to West Ham, meaning the club would be breaking their transfer record twice in one window.
Vuskovic Deal Could Be Shrewd Business
While Vuskovic is considered to be one of the top young defenders in world football, Spurs need players for right now.
The club have Micky Van de Ven in their back line already alongside Kevin Danso, while Van Hecke and Senesi's arrival means there is plenty of depth and competition. It's also worth noting that as of this writing, Cristian Romero is still at the club.
That would likely make Vuskovic sixth-choice, and he's of no use to anyone there. Selling him for a big fee, and retaining some control of his future, is excellent business, and Spurs can now focus on strengthening the squad even further as a result to get back to being competitive.
