"We’ve been in touch": Is Tah bringing Vuskovic to Bayern? | OneFootball

Luka Vuskovic is undoubtedly one of the biggest discoveries of this Bundesliga season. This is increasingly reflected in the form of transfer rumors.

The 18-year-old central defender, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to HSV, impresses with remarkable maturity, enormous physical presence, and savvy tackling. Furthermore, he is currently the most dangerous defender in front of goal in the league. At the very latest, since his goal against FC Bayern last weekend, the Croatian has been even more in the spotlight. He has apparently made a strong impression on the Munich team as well.

Not least, a statement from Bayern player Jonathan Tah is causing a stir. In an interview with Sky, the national player praised Vuskovic and raised eyebrows: “I really think he’s good for his age. We’ve had contact from time to time.” Words that certainly leave room for speculation. Especially since Tah not only praises but also gives the youngster concrete advice: “He should keep going, keep working on himself, keep pushing.”

The 29-year-old is particularly impressed by the HSV professional’s charisma. “I like his energy that he brings to the pitch, I like his confidence. I pay close attention to that,” says Tah.

Vuskovic also in focus at FC Bayern

According to information from Sky, FC Bayern is indeed among the numerous top European clubs closely monitoring the development of the central defender. There is also keen interest from the English Premier League. However, a potential move to Munich is still in the future, as the teenager is set to return to the Spurs next summer. At least, that is the current plan.

But it is Tah’s personal story that adds a special note to the topic. The veteran is a native of Hamburg, went through the youth and first professional stages at HSV between 2009 and 2014, and knows the club very well. In 2015, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen for 7.5 million euros, became a leading player there over a full decade, and was part of the team that won the German championship unbeaten in the 2023/24 season. Last summer, he finally moved on to FC Bayern.

Will he one day meet Vuskovic there? Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg currently does not think so. At the Spobis Conference in Hamburg, the transfer guru classified such a move as “very unlikely.” The reason is the upcoming contract extension with defensive chief Dayot Upamecano.
