Liverpool are “discussing” whether to make a move for Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic this summer, according to reports in the German media.
The Croatian international has caught the eye whilst on loan at Bundesliga side Hamburg this season, and Bild claim he will not be short of suitors when the transfer window reopens.

It is believed that the Reds see Vuskovic as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate if the Frenchman does leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Merseysiders remain in negotiations with Konate’s agent, but so far, there has been no breakthrough in talks, and contingency plans need to be put in place. Buy a Liverpool home shirt from ASOS here.
What do fans need to know about Vuskovic?
The 19-year-old signed for Spurs from Hajduk Split for €11m last summer, and he was loaned out to Hamburg just two months later.
Vuskovic has made 26 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit this season, scoring 5 goals. Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac has been very complimentary about his fellow Croatian’s performances this campaign:
“He’s a huge talent – that was already clear during his youth days at Hajduk Split. He made a good move to Tottenham, and now he’s at HSV alongside his brother. With his quality, he can already contribute to the team at a young age. Sooner or later, he will surely become an important part of the Croatian national team.”
Liverpool will have competition for the centre-back
Bild report that the Reds are just one of many teams keeping close tabs on Vuskovic. La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keen on the player, along with Chelsea.
Transfermarkt have already set his valuation at €60m (£52m), but it remains to be seen how much Tottenham would demand if a club makes an official approach over the coming weeks/months.
