Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing the Hajduk Split defender Luka Vuskovic, a target for Chelsea and Manchester United.
A report from 90min claims that Manchester City have already submitted an opening bid for Luka Vuskovic along with Paris Saint-Germain. City will be competing with Premier League clubs Chelsea and Manchester United as well for the 16-year-old defensive prodigy.
Luka Vuskovic has a big future ahead of him, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea. Manchester City are looking to add to the pool of young talent at the club.
The 16-year-old has the potential to develop into an important first-team player for them in the coming years. So it is hardly surprising that Manchester City are keen on signing him and have submitted a bid already.
It will be interesting to see whether the Premier League champions can fend off competition from Manchester United, Chelsea and others and secure his services. Meanwhile, Chelsea have shown a willingness when it comes to investing in talented young players since the arrival of their new owners.

The Blues have invested in a number of young talents over the past few months. But they face intense competition to sign Vuskovic at the end of the season. A move to the Premier League would be a major step up in the 16-year-old’s career, and he is likely to be tempted if the top Premier League clubs come calling in the summer.
Manchester United have a reputation for nurturing talented young players into established stars. So it is no surprise that they are looking to bring in prodigious young talents who could be a part of their first team in the coming seasons.
Erik ten Hag did well to nurture talented young players during his time at Ajax. And the Dutchman could help Vuskovic fulfil his potential at Manchester United. Apparently, Manchester City’s opening bid is worth around €12 million. And it will be interesting to see whether Hajduk Split are prepared to accept the offer. Meanwhile, he is also a target for Real Madrid.
The 16-year-old has a contract with them until the summer of 2026 and they could look to demand a premium for his services. Vuskovic is highly rated around Europe and he could prove to be a major bargain in the long run if Manchester City manage to sign him for €12 million and help him fulfil his potential.
