Tottenham plan Luka Vuskovic ‘conversations’ as Bayern Munich threat emerges | OneFootball

Tottenham are set to hold updated talks with Luka Vuskovic over his first-team pathway, sources have told TEAMtalk, as Bayern Munich take a close look at the defender.

Vuskovic has been a revelation at Hamburg, where he has been on loan since the start of the season. The 18-year-old Croatia international centre-back has made 17 starts in the Bundesliga and two starts in the DFB-Pokal for Hamburg in the 2025/26 campaign, scoring four goals in the process.

Tottenham agreed to the loan at the player’s request, with Vuskovic keen to play regular first-team football rather than remain on the fringes in north London while waiting for an opportunity.

The teenager’s performances have been so impressive that Bayern Munich are now monitoring him closely, and reports in Germany suggest the teenager would be open to playing in the Bundesliga again next season.

My colleague, Graeme Bailey, reported on December 12, 2025, that Bayern had enquired about Vuskovic, but Tottenham rebuffed their advances.

However, we understand that the defending Bundesliga champions are still keeping a close eye on the former Hajduk Split defender.

It presents a dilemma for Spurs, who committed to signing the teenager in 2023.

The Croatian has now experienced consistent first-team football and shown he can handle the demands, meaning he will be pushing for more of the same next season at Tottenham.

Spurs remain confident in his long-term potential and believe he can become an important part of their future, but at just 18 years old, they cannot offer guarantees over immediate game time.

Conversations are expected to take place ahead of next summer regarding his next steps, with indications that Vuskovic could request to remain in Germany.

A potential pathway for Vuskovic into the Tottenham first team could emerge if Cristian Romero leaves.

Romero slammed Tottenham’s owners and board for not addressing the injury problems in the squad, suggesting that they should have made more signings than they did during the winter transfer window.

A top Argentine reporter has claimed that Romero wants to leave Tottenham in the summer of 2026.

There have been reports in the Spanish media that Real Madrid are keen on a deal for Romero.

Meanwhile, we can reveal why Tottenham did not sign Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco on the final day of the winter transfer window, despite the 23-year-old being willing to make the move to last season’s Europa League winners.

And finally, our transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, has reported that Tottenham made ‘discreet enquiries’ to sign a former Chelsea winger from the Saudi Pro League in the winter transfer window.
