Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has responded when asked about the Bundesliga club’s interest in Tottenham starlet Luka Vuskovic.
The 18-year-old centre-back has surpassed all expectations in his first taste of football at the highest level, and his stock is continuing to grow with each appearance for Hamburg.
Unsurprisingly, Vuskovic’s impressive displays this season have garnered the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
One of those is Bayern Munich, who are planning to test the waters for the Spurs youngster in the summer transfer window.
Max Eberl keeping his cards close to his chest regarding Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic
Amidst the transfer speculation, we have also seen some Bayern Munich legends waxing lyrical about Vuskovic.
However, Eberl has now revealed that Bayern are relaxed about their squad planning for the summer and suggested that the targets will be finalised by the time the transfer window opens.
He was asked about centre-backs like Vuskovic, Inter Milan’s Yann Aurel Bisseck and Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck being linked with a switch to the Allianz Arena.
Erbel responded to Sport1: “We’ve reached the point where we’re not under pressure regarding squad planning. We can calmly decide what happens next. Of course, we’re still keeping an eye on the market. We certainly won’t rule out any option that would benefit Bayern.
“I’m someone who finalises his squad planning early. I managed to do that in Mönchengladbach, in Leipzig, and, incidentally, here at Bayern as well. Everything was done by mid-July, before the start of preseason training.”
Spurs have no intention of letting Vuskovic go
According to updates over recent weeks, Tottenham are expected to rebuff any approaches for Vuskovic in the summer.
In fact, it has been reported that Spurs have already knocked back approaches from Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig for the 18-year-old.
With doubts over the Tottenham futures of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, one would not rule out the prospect of the Croat becoming a regular starter at N17 next season.
