"Should join Bayern": Croatia legend urges HSV starlet | OneFootball

The meteoric rise of HSV youngster Luka Vuskovic, currently on loan from Spurs, has not gone unnoticed internationally.

At just 18 years old, the central defender is one of the most outstanding players of the current season. Consistently strong performances have also brought him to the attention of numerous top clubs. In addition to several interested parties from the Premier League, FC Bayern is now reportedly also considering the Croatian talent.

Vuskovic himself remains reserved when it comes to his future. “We’ll decide after the World Cup how things will continue, what’s best for me,” the defender recently told Sport Bild, making it clear that sporting prospects, playing time, and a long-term development plan are decisive criteria for him. Naturally, the role of Tottenham, where Vuskovic is under contract until 2030, also factors into his considerations.

HSV: Has Vuskovic already outgrown Spurs?

A clear recommendation now comes from Ivan Rakitic. The Croatian legend openly advocates a move to Munich. “All of footballing Europe is talking about him right now. FC Bayern has to step on the gas. I believe the boy has to go to FC Bayern,” Rakitic said on Sky, adding: “It’s incredibly nice to see such a young guy shaking up the football world.” His clear verdict: “This boy and his family are already doing many things right.”

Rakitic also expressed doubts as to whether Tottenham could keep Vuskovic in the long term. “For me, he’s already ready for the next step to one of the absolute top clubs. And for me, there are only four or five of those in Europe,” said the former international.

But despite the prominent advice from his compatriot, Vuskovic still feels comfortable in Hamburg. Not least because of the prospect of playing alongside his brother Mario for HSV in the future, which plays an important role. The 24-year-old will be eligible to return to competitive action from November 2026.
