In one of the craziest transfer twists of the summer, Brighton & Hove Albion has pried center-back phenom Luka Vušković away from Tottenham Hotspur for roughly €58.5 million per transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, who gave it his patented “Here we go!”-treatment:
🚨🔵⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Brighton agree deal to sign Luka Vušković from Tottenham, here we go! 💣
£46m fixed fee plus sell-on clause to bring the potential package over £50m. Massive signing for #BHAFC after personal terms also agreed.
💣 Spurs ready to go ALL IN for Sandro Tonali.
Bayern Munich was rumored to be very interested in the young Croatia international, but there is a current backlog at center-back that would have needed to be cleared out before such a move could occur. With starters Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah firmly entrenched, back-ups Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Itō are occupying key roster space (and budget space) that likely slowed the Bavarians from getting involved in the race for the 19-year-old.
