Tottenham's summer of change could bring about some tough exits, as Gianluigi Longari reports that contact has been made for one star, who may be open to a move away from the club.
It comes as the great Spurs rebuild is already underway, with the hierarchy looks to avoid a repeat of the consecutive 17th-placed finishes the team have endured over the past two seasons.
A move for Andy Robertson has been confirmed, with Marcos Senesi expected to join shortly after in a double switch that will bolster the backline.
While that, combined with an attempted bid to sign Jan Paul van Hecke, will certainly improve the defensive solidity of the team, it may cause some other changes in the squad.
Cristian Romero is expected to leave, but he may not be the only Tottenham centre-back who could be on the move this summer.
Luka Vuskovic Linked With Transfer Exit
Among those who have an uncertain future in North London is Luka Vuskovic, who will return to Tottenham after his loan at Hamburg comes to an end.
The 19-year-old has been touted as one of the best young centre-backs in the world, with plenty of potential to grow having broken through at such a young age.
However, according to a report from Longari, Vuskovic would be open to leaving Spurs if an offer arrives, with clubs circling a possible deal.
Bayern Munich and some Premier League clubs are claimed to have made initial contact to see if a deal can be done, with it being uncertain where he fits into the club's plans.
It remains to be seen whether the Croatian international will be available or not in the window, but there could be some huge decisions to make in the recruitment team surrounding his future.
While Vuskovic has plenty of potential, it's clear that Tottenham need immediate improvement, and it's uncertain whether he will be given an opportunity to progress in the immediate future.
How Good Is Vuskovic?
Having been a senior professional for a few seasons now, Vuskovic has demonstrated that he is capable of playing at a top level, with the potential to grow even further.
Moving from that current level to the potential he has is another thing, however, and requires a player to gain more experience and even make mistakes.
Given the campaign Tottenham have had, it makes sense that quality at centre-back is fresh on the club's mind, with Senesi and Van Hecke two clear targets.
While that may block out a pathway for Vuskovic, there are questions over how good he would be for Spurs in their current guise, though other players have suggested he is top quality.
"I think he [Vuskovic] has a very good and successful future ahead of him," Bayern Munich and Germany centre-back Jonathan Tah recently said ahead of his nation's World Cup campaign, having come up against the defender in the Bundesliga over the past season.
It's an assessment that other clubs clearly agree with, as they now swarm a potential deal. It's up to Tottenham whether they can give him the right game time or risk losing him in the process.
