Liverpool or Real Madrid could hand Tottenham a bitter 20% sell-on windfall

Wait 5 sec.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have joined Bayern Munich in the race for Luka Vuskovic, as Tottenham eye a potential 20% sell-on windfall.The future of Luka Vuskovic remains of particular interest to Tottenham Hotspur, despite the centre-back no longer being on the Lilywhites’ books following his departure in the summer.Spurs made a profit from the sale of the defender, having signed him for £12 million and sold him for over four times that amount – £50 million. At Brighton, however, he is proving to be worth every penny as he continues to show maturity beyond his age.L.

Spurs Web reported last week that Bayern Munich are keen on the 19-year-old’s signature, although a move would only materialise should they sell one of Hiroki Ito or Kim Min-jae.Vuskovic himself is open to a switch to Germany, where he impressed during his time with Hamburg. However, the race for the centre-back is now heating up, with two more clubs entering the fray.According to Football Insider, Liverpool and Real Madrid are weighing up a potential move in 2027.Explaining the situation, Pete O’Rourke wrote: “He looks like a special talent – there’s no getting away from that. This form is going to attract interest from top clubs, not just in the Premier League but across Europe.“There’s been talk of Real Madrid also being interested in Vuskovic, and I’m sure Liverpool are as well. A lot of the top guns are keeping tabs on the Croatian international because he does look like a player with huge potential who probably will only get better and better.”Tottenham could benefit from Luka Vuskovic sell-on clauseThis situation could prove ideal for Tottenham, as they included a 20% sell-on clause in Vuskovic’s move to Brighton. Spurs will be hoping the Seagulls can demand a premium for the centre-back.Brighton have shown they are more than capable of securing huge fees when selling their assets.

That would require significant spending to prise him away from Brighton, but it raises the question of how he compares to Tottenham’s current centre-backs and whether the club should consider bringing him back.Spurs Web has compiled the underlying stats of Tottenham’s three centre-backs so far this season to assess the situation.MetricJan Paul van Hecke (Tottenham, 26)Luka Vušković (Brighton, 19)Micky van de Ven (Tottenham, 25)BestPasses completed87.275.585.9Van HeckeForward pass %63.655.289.9Van de VenProgressive passes97.853.037.0Van HeckePossession won35.160.134.8VuškovićDefensive duel %39.929.320.4Van HeckeAerial duel %10.184.231.3VuškovićProgressive carries99.237.077.2Van HeckeMinutes689667520Van HeckeREAD MORE: World record Pedro Porro transfer: Tottenham relaxed as Barcelona and Real Madrid chaseThe post Liverpool or Real Madrid could hand Tottenham a bitter 20% sell-on windfall appeared first on Spurs Web.
