Luka Vuskovic is already attracting interest from many of the biggest clubs in Europe, just a few months on from leaving Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs’ decision to sell Vuskovic for £50m is already being widely criticised, given how well the Croat has done since his switch to Brighton.
The centre-back had been one of the best young players on show in the Bundesliga last term on loan at Hamburg, and he has seamlessly made the transition to Premier League football, showing why many consider him a potential world-class prospect.
Vuskovic has consistently excelled this term for a team sitting in second place in the table, just five points off league leaders, Arsenal.
His displays have not gone unnoticed by Europe’s biggest clubs, with Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich credited with an interest in the former Spurs man over recent weeks.
Former Tottenham star Luka Vuskovic is wanted by Liverpool
A few days ago, it emerged that Liverpool had set their sights on the Croat, as they scoured the market for a long-term heir to Virgil van Dijk, whose contract at Anfield runs out next summer.
Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has now taken to social media to back up the Reds’ interest in the defender Tottenham let go in the summer.

He claims that Andoni Iraola’s men are keeping a close eye on Vuskovic, but he is happy at Brighton, who value him at €100m (£83.5m). Additionally, the journalist adds that the 19-year-old dreams of representing Real Madrid in the future.
Plettenberg wrote on X: “Liverpool have Luka Vuskovic on their shortlist for next summer. The 19 y/o top defender is being monitored regularly. LFC His contract at Brighton is valid until 2031. No release clause will be available next summer. Current price valuation: around €100m (+/-). Vuskovic is very happy under Fabian Hürzeler. However, his dream is to join Real Madrid one day.”
Spurs are likely to receive a significant financial boost due to Vuskovic
It is unclear when Vuskovic will make a step up from Brighton to one of the biggest clubs in Europe, but it is certain that it will happen eventually.
If the centre-back stays at the Amex Stadium for a couple of years before moving, he could potentially become one of the most valuable defenders in the world, given that his value is already mooted at around £85m.
Tottenham already made a significant profit on the centre-back when they sold him for £50m, having signed him for just £12m from Hajduk Split.
