Bayern Munich have made an informal contact with Tottenham over the future of teenage defensive star Luka Vickovic, with the north Londoners uninterested in a sale.
According to Caught Offside, Bayern Munich have set their sights on Croatian teenager Luka Vi=uckovic and have made informal contact with Tottenham. The defender is currently on loan at Hamburger SV, but Spurs are unwilling to sanction a sale and are in a position of power over the teenager’s future.
Luka Viuskovic has caught the imagination of many teams in Germany following some composed performances while on loan at Hamburger SV. The teenager was signed by Tottenham last summer, but they chose to send him out on loan for the whole season to help him gain experience.
While not many expected him to be a main starter at Hamburger SV, the Croatian has started all of the 13 games he has been involved in so far. He missed only one at the start of his spell, when he had just arrived in the summer.
Teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund were told by Tottenham that Vuckovic was not for sale following informal approaches sometime earlier. The same might be the case with Bayern Munich, who have made contact with the north Londoners over the highly-rated defender.
Bayern Munich are keen on Vuskovic, but Spurs have once again reiterated their stance that the player is not for sale. The Bavarians are always on the lookout for the best talents playing in the Bundesliga, and while the Croatian teenager is not technically there for the long haul, they might have considered bringing him on board, which is clear with their line of enquiry.
What are Tottenham’s plans for Luka Vuskovic?
While Spurs barely thought about Vuskovic’s rapid rise in this vein, they are extremely pleased with how their decision to loan him out has panned out. While they have ample cover in their team at the moment, the idea of bringing him back did emerge in reports, although it is not clear whether they intend to recall him.
For now, the highly-rated defender is widely expected to finish the season with Hamburger SV and continue his impressive vein of form for the Bundesliga side. Beyond that, Spurs view Vuskovic to stay put in north London next season, as his deal here until 2030 gives Tottenham immense power in determining his long-term future, as teams like Bayern Munich may have no chance of signing him at the moment.
