Barcelona Hold Talks on Tottenham Prospect Luka Vuskovic as Spurs Push New Deal

Exploratory talks raise a summer tug-of-war shaped by Tottenham’s plans versus Barcelona’s budget.

Overview

  • Pini Zahavi has opened talks with Barcelona about 19-year-old Luka Vuskovic, according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.
  • Tottenham are preparing an improved contract for the defender, and football director Johan Lange traveled to Hamburg to discuss his future with the club.
  • Vuskovic is on loan at Hamburger SV and has impressed this season, and a second loan next year is described as unlikely.
  • Barcelona still view Alessandro Bastoni as their priority at center-back but are assessing Vuskovic while working within tight finances and wage limits.
  • Reporting indicates Tottenham’s league status and any summer exits in defense could influence whether Vuskovic stays in North London.
