Will Vuskovic stay another year? HSV hold a trump card! | OneFootball

The clear plan is for Luka Vuskovic to return to Tottenham after this season. However, one aspect gives hope for another year at HSV.

Hamburger SV can still hope for Luka Vuskovic to stay. Or at least dream of it. The 18-year-old central defender, currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season, has already attracted plenty of interest with his strong performances.

According to information from the English portal Teamtalk, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are closely monitoring the Croatian’s development, especially since Vuskovic currently boasts the best duel success rate in the league, winning 72 percent of his challenges. At HSV, the youngster is already a regular starter despite his age and has quickly established himself as the leader of the defense.

HSV has a Vuskovic hope!

Despite the high demand and the clear plan of the Spurs to bring their jewel back next summer, another year in Hamburg cannot be completely ruled out. According to Sport Bild, HSV is eyeing another loan and has a special trump card: brother Mario Vuskovic.

The older of the two defenders is suspended until November 2026, but Luka has repeatedly hinted that he absolutely wants to play together with his brother at some point. Such a future prospect could be a strong argument for him to continue his development at HSV for now.

Although the initial negotiations with Tottenham proved tough—the Spurs delayed the transfer several times, initially took Vuskovic for pre-season and even on the Asia tour—the communication between the club and the player remains close. Tottenham is closely following the progress of its talent and, given the positive development at Volkspark, could agree to another loan.

A permanent transfer to HSV, however, is out of the question, as there is no purchase option and Vuskovic is contractually bound to the Spurs until 2030. Financially, he has long since outgrown what HSV can afford. Sporting director Stefan Kuntz recently emphasized that a Vuskovic stay beyond the current season is rather unlikely.
