Bayern Munich director directly addresses transfer links to Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has revealed whether the Bundesliga giants are looking to sign Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic.
There has been plenty of speculation over the future of the Croatian centre-back in light of his brilliant performances on loan at Hamburg this season.
Over the last couple of weeks, it has emerged that Bayern Munich are planning to test the waters for the Spurs youngster in the summer transfer window.
Croatian legend Ivan Rakitic has suggested that Tottenham may struggle to hold onto Vuskovic, urging Bayern to do all they can to land the teenager.
Tottenham fans will be relieved by Bayern Munich’s director’s statement
This transfer speculation has coincided with some Bayern Munich legends waxing lyrical about Vuskovic, which some Spurs fans may view as a coordinated effort to turn the teenager’s head.
However, sporting director Max Eberl has now distanced the Bundesliga club from the speculation linking them with the centre-back, making it clear that the 18-year-old is a Tottenham Hotspur player.
When asked about rumours of the Spurs defender moving to the Allianz Arena, Eberl said: “He’s 18, playing an outstanding season at HSV, he belongs to Tottenham.
“But we also have very high-quality centre-backs. We also have Itō and Stani who can play there. So we can’t just sign every good player that people say we should sign.”
Spurs face a big dilemma ahead of Luka Vuskovic decision
According to a recent update by TEAMtalk, Tottenham have no intention of letting Vuskovic join Bayern or any other club in the summer.
However, the report did explain that Spurs face a dilemma in deciding what the 18-year-old’s next step would be.
It was pointed out that Vuskovic is keen to get regular football next season, having got a taste of it at HSV, but Tottenham may not be in a position to guarantee him regular starts.
As a result, the Lilywhites could allow the centre-back to extend his loan spell at Volksparkstadion for one more season.
