Liverpool Join €70m Race for Tottenham Teen Defender

Liverpool are among several top European clubs including Manchester City monitoring 18-year-old Tottenham defender Luka Vušković, with a potential €70m transfer race looming.

Tottenham Hotspur consider their young center-back "unsellable" but may accept offers around €60-70m for Vušković, who is currently on loan at Hamburg. The 18-year-old Croatian defender, described as a "modern defensive artist," has drawn interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG as well.

Liverpool and Manchester City are assessing whether his ball-playing skills can handle the Premier League's tempo. Vušković, whose contract runs until 2030, has been compared to Joško Gvardiol as Croatia's biggest talent in years.
