TEAMtalk reported that Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona have joined the chase for Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Luka Vuskovic. The report added that no formal moves have yet been made for the 19-year-old, and any concrete approach is expected to be framed around next summer rather than in January.
Three clubs enter the chase
According to TEAMtalk and its sources, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona are "seriously interested" in Vuskovic. TEAMtalk also reported that Liverpool are the latest club to show interest.
Bayern Munich and Chelsea interest
According to TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich have long monitored Vuskovic and Chelsea are also interested. TEAMtalk said Bayern have tracked him for some time, including during his Bundesliga loan at Hamburg.
TEAMtalk reported that sources state Vuskovic is understood to be open to a future move to the Allianz Arena. The outlet added that any Bayern pursuit would depend on the club creating space and funds, likely through the sale of Kim Min-jae or Hiroki Ito, who it said have both been transfer listed.
TEAMtalk also reported that Chelsea have remained in the picture for Vuskovic as part of their search for defensive reinforcements next summer.
Brighton position and contract
According to TEAMtalk, Vuskovic joined Brighton from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer in a club-record deal worth up to £50million. TEAMtalk also said he had an outstanding loan spell at Hamburg before joining Brighton.
