Spurs don’t want to lose Luka Vuskovic
A move could be sought in the summer, but Tottenham believe the Croatian talent is “unmarketable”. According to reports, he will only accept offers of around 70 million euros. It will be interesting to see whether Real Madrid or Liverpool make an acceptable offer for the player.
Real Madrid look vulnerable defensively and are looking to improve that area of the pitch. Signing an 18-year-old would be a huge coup for them. He is considered a generational talent and with the right guidance could develop into a world-class player.
Vuskovic could be a star.
An investment of 70 million euros may seem expensive at the moment, but the player has the qualities to be worth the expense in the future. Similarly, Liverpool need more depth in their defense. They need to start planning for Virgil van Dijk’s replacement and the Croatian could be a great signing.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. Tottenham need to keep players like him at the club if they want to build a strong team for the future. Selling him to Real Madrid or Liverpool could be a big mistake. The 18-year-old has all the makings of a future star and Tottenham may regret this decision in the future.
