Tottenham have no intentions of negotiating the departure of Luka Vuskovic, amidst interest from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
Luka Vuskovic’s impressive loan spell at Hamburger has put him on the radar of clubs like Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. The German giants are keen on acquiring his services, but according to a report from TBR, Tottenham are not willing to negotiate his departure.
On the back of his sensational rise at Hajduk Split, Vuskovic joined Spurs last summer. Since Thomas Frank wasn’t certain about handing the 18-year-old defender enough game time, the North London club ended up sending him out on loan to Hamburger.
The teenager has had quite an impact at the German club. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he has also been their standout performer, helping them secure some important results.
The Croatian centre-back’s performances have resulted in interest from German clubs. Spurs are quite pleased with his progress, but they could face a battle to keep him at the club, as Dortmund and Leipzig are keen on signing him on a permanent basis.
Spurs won’t sell Vuskovic
Both clubs are ready to hand him an important role in their first team in hopes of luring him away. While there is no clarity on what the player wants, Spurs have certainly made their stance quite clear. The North London club are firmly against the idea of negotiating his departure.
They consider him an important part of their long-term plans and are unwilling to negotiate with any club. Given his performances for the German side, Tottenham are already considering integrating him into their first team upon his return next summer.
While Spurs already have Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven as their preferred choices at the back, Vuskovic could certainly be an ideal cover for the duo. The 18-year-old is quite happy at Hamburger, but if reports are to be believed, the North London club could look to recall him in January to add more quality to their backline.
With Romero and Van de Ven expected to remain at the club for years to come, it will be interesting to see if the teenager is willing to play a backup role at Tottenham or if he eventually pushes for a move away.
