AliousThe Croatian youngster has built a reputation as one of the most promising young defenders in world football during his loan spell at Hamburger SV.
His impressive displays have attracted attention from across Europe, with several elite clubs considering a summer move for Luka Vuskovic.
Recent reports even suggest that FC Barcelona have already opened initial discussions about signing the Tottenham Hotspur teenager. His reputation could grow even further if he delivers standout performances for Croatia national football team at the upcoming FIFA World Cup this summer.
Vuskovic reluctant to return to Spurs
Some reports indicate that Tottenham are determined to keep the 18-year-old, viewing him as a long-term solution in the centre of their defence.
However, according to The Daily Mail, the situation may not be so straightforward. The report claims that Vuskovic is not eager to return to the North London club when the season ends.
If that proves to be the case, Tottenham could face a difficult situation this summer, particularly with many of Europe’s top clubs ready to swoop for some of Spurs’ most promising talents.

Vuskovic will not be returning to Hamburg
It is unclear where the Croatian international will be playing his football this season, but it seems certain where he will not be playing.
There have even been claims over recent months that the young Spurs centre-back wants to extend his stay at Hamburg for one more season.
