Fabrizio Romano is expecting a long race for Luka Vuskovic in the summer transfer window, with FC Barcelona wanting to sign the Tottenham defender.
The 19-year-old is one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, and the list of major clubs keen on signing him is growing by the day.
Will Luka Vuskovic stay or leave if Tottenham are relegated to the Championship?
Vuskovic scored for Hamburg during their 2-1 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday, which has seen his stock continue to rise around the continent.
Tottenham would love to keep Vuskovic; however, relegation to the Championship would likely scupper their plans of doing so for next season.
The race for Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic is heating up

Tottenham want to keep Vuskovic, with the defender returning to North London in the summer, but his impressive performances are making that harder and harder.

Despite signing for Spurs in the summer of 2023, Vuskovic is contracted with the North London club until 2030, meaning the Lilywhites do have some control.
Vuskovic is keen to return to Hamburg on loan; therefore, another loan to the Championship could be a good option if Spurs go down.
