Premier League
Luka Vuskovic, a 19-year-old Croatian center-back, has entered the transfer market agenda of Barcelona and Real Madrid for the summer of 2027, according to journalist Ekrem Konur. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also among the interested clubs, although there have been no formal offers yet. Brighton, who signed him in July, has a contract with the defender until 2031.
Barcelona and Real Madrid Interested in Luka Vuskovic
The name of Luka Vuskovic appears on the list of targets that several major European clubs may consider to strengthen their defense. Information released by Konur places Barcelona and Real Madrid on a list alongside Chelsea and Bayern, looking ahead to the upcoming summer transfer window.
Currently, the situation involves monitoring rather than confirmed negotiations. Official offers, direct contacts between clubs, or a specific figure that Brighton would demand for their center-back have not been disclosed.
For Barcelona, the possibility of signing a 19-year-old defender would fit into a long-term defensive strategy, although no specific proposal has been confirmed yet. Real Madrid also appears as a potential suitor in the same information, but formal movements from the white entity are not known yet.
The presence of both Spanish teams adds to the possibility of a market competition in 2027, but it is too early to talk about a bidding war for the player. Konur's list of interested clubs does not mean that all four have initiated any actions.

Brighton Has a Contract with Vuskovic until 2031
The main obstacle for any interested party is the player's contractual situation. Brighton announced his signing from Tottenham on July 14, 2026, in a deal valued by the British press at 46 million fixed pounds, plus 4 million in variables. The agreement includes a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year.
This investment makes any potential departure a negotiation that would require dealing with the English club. According to Sky Sports, Tottenham also retained a 20% share of a future sale, besides having buy-back options, terms that could affect the economic distribution of a prospective transfer.
Vuskovic arrived in England after a loan spell at Hamburg during the 2025-2026 season. In Germany, he played 30 games in all competitions and scored six goals, figures that contributed to raising his profile before joining Brighton.
Bayern and Chelsea Complete the List of Suitors
The interest is not limited to Spain. Bayern Munich is already listed among the clubs monitoring the defender for the summer of 2027, according to reports published this week by specialized media. Chelsea is also mentioned on Konur's list, although no details of an offer or negotiation have been disclosed.
The next step will be to see if this monitoring turns into discussions over the coming months. With a contract until 2031 and recent investment reaching up to 50 million pounds, Brighton is not under immediate pressure to sell. Therefore, the future of Luka Vuskovic will depend on the persistence of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, and Chelsea, as well as the conditions that the English club is willing to accept in the 2027 market.
