Barcelona continue to follow Luka Vušković very closely and discussions around the defender have not slowed down. According to the shared information, Pini Zahavi remains in contact with the Catalan club regarding his situation. That once again places the young Croatian centre-back firmly on Barça’s radar for the future.
Tottenham’s reaction makes it clear this is not just another market rumour without substance. The English club are desperate to keep him for next season and are already preparing important moves. Among them is a salary improvement aimed at convincing him to stay inside their long-term project.
That fear from the London side becomes easier to understand when looking at the player’s current moment. Vušković is only 19 years old, stands at 1.93 metres and plays as a central defender. He is contracted to Tottenham until 2030, although he spent this season on loan at Hamburg.
A future star already attracting Europe’s attention
The Croatian defender’s development has massively increased both his value and attention across Europe. His campaign in Germany has been considered one of the biggest breakout seasons for a young defender. Several reports even highlight that he scored five goals from defence while playing for Hamburg.
That explains why major clubs across Europe continue monitoring his progress very closely. Tottenham themselves already view him as one of the most important defensive projects for the future. Transfermarkt currently values him at around €40 million, confirming how quickly his stock has risen.
Barça see him as an extremely attractive profile because of his age, physicality, potential and huge room for growth. After the Champions League disappointment, the club continue searching for defenders capable of offering both future value and long-term impact. Vušković fits perfectly into that mix of strategic investment and elite projection.
Tottenham are pushing hard to keep him
The problem for Barça is that Tottenham have absolutely no immediate need to sell. The English club paid around €11 million to sign him from Hajduk Split and tied him down to a long-term deal. After his rapid evolution, they now believe they may already have a future cornerstone defender.
That is why the Premier League side’s plan revolves around convincing him with a new improved agreement and pushing away every interested club. Recent reports suggest Tottenham are fully determined to retain him and strengthen their relationship with the player as quickly as possible. That strategy makes any Barça operation far more difficult.
The conclusion inside Barça’s offices appears quite clear with this case now on the table. Vušković is highly appreciated, Zahavi remains in contact and Tottenham are already on alert. If Barcelona truly want to compete for his signature, they may need to move before the English club fully secure his future.
