Liverpool are eyeing a summer move to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Luka Vuskovic to bolster their defence, according to Sports Boom.
The Reds are expected to have a busy summer transfer window once again this year, having had a record-breaking window in 2025 that saw them spend over £400m upgrading their squad. But their performances this year have been inconsistent at best, and the club are currently battling to earn a Champions League spot via their Premier League finish.
The defence is expected to be a priority area that is focused on, with Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez looking likely to leave, and Virgil Van Dijk turning 35 before the new season begins. The club have already signed Jeremy Jacquet in a big-money deal, but they're also looking at another young future superstar for the position to join their squad.
Liverpool Eyeing Vuskovic Deal

Vuskovic, who has been described as 'elite', is currently on loan in the Bundesliga with Hamburg and has been shining with his performances in Germany, which has got Spurs fans excited.
The north London club spent around £12m to sign the Croatian defender in 2023 on a pre-agreed contract that started last summer. But the 18-year-old was sent away to play regularly, rather than sitting behind Cristian Romero, Micky Van de Ven and Kevin Danso in the pecking order.
He has been exceptional with Hamburg, and a report suggests that he has caught the attention of some of Europe's top clubs, including the current Premier League champions.
Members of the Anfield scouting team have been regulars at Hamburg games this season to watch the defender in person, and they believe he could become 'the complete package' for the Premier League.
However, Tottenham are not interested in selling such a talent, especially to a rival, and it's understood that it would take an 'astronomical' offer in the region of £61m for them to consider any sort of deal.
