Intriguing thought experiment: how HSV could keep Vuskovic! | OneFootball

The open future of Luka Vuskovic remains one of the most exciting topics surrounding HSV – even though, at first glance, him staying seems almost out of the question.

International attention on the young center-back has also risen rapidly in recent days. Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic raved: “Luka is playing excellently for HSV, and all of Europe is impressed by him.” He also emphasized: “Many key performance metrics show that he is one of the biggest talents of his age.” Those are words that further fuel the already seemingly limitless hype and raise hopes of a regular starting spot with the upcoming World Cup in mind.

This is exactly where the key lies for HSV. If Vuskovic shines at the tournament in North and Central America, a move to a European top club could soon become reality. A direct return to Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, is considered unlikely – especially since the player himself does not appear to be interested in it. That is according to the Hamburger Abendblatt.

A club of the caliber of Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, however, could be willing to loan Vuskovic back to the Volkspark for another season after signing him.

HSV hopes its brother card can be the trump

But the situation is complex. Tottenham are stuck deep in the Premier League relegation zone, with a drop to the second-tier Championship looming. Regardless of how this season ends, the Spurs are very likely facing a major overhaul. The key question is whether the club will need transfer income or plans to keep Vuskovic as a permanent part of the squad. That will determine when, and whether, things start moving in this case.

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

For HSV, it remains a game with accordingly many unknowns. However, the club does hold one emotional trump card. Vuskovic would like to stay in Hamburg for an additional year in order to play alongside his brother Mario. The 24-year-old will return to competitive action in November after a four-year doping ban. The Vuskovic dream of playing side by side for HSV has not changed in the slightest.
