Press reports revealed that Real Madrid is prioritizing the young defender Luka Vuskovic, owned by Tottenham Hotspur, as one of its top priorities in the summer transfer market for 2026, as part of its efforts to bolster the defense line with promising young talents, according to the 'TEAMtalk' website.

Vuskovic is considered one of the most prominent rising defensive talents in Europe and is currently playing with Hamburg on loan until the end of the 2025/2026 season. Tottenham had completed its agreement with Hajduk Split in September 2023 to sign the player for 12 million pounds, with him officially joining in the summer of 2025.

The 19-year-old Croatian defender has delivered remarkable performances this season, scoring four goals in 21 matches with Hamburg. The same source indicated that Bayern Munich has expressed admiration for the player, while Tottenham plans to hold talks with him regarding his future and path to the first team.

The report mentioned that Real Madrid was impressed with scouts' reports about the player and considers him a fantastic talent. Although Tottenham is not currently looking to sell him, the report clarified that the English club would demand at least 70 million euros to agree to his departure.

The report also confirmed that Vuskovic stated in October 2025 his dream of playing for Real Madrid, noting that wearing the Spanish club's jersey is a great honor. Real Madrid's interest in the player comes as part of a list that also includes Cristian Romero and Van de Ven.
