HSV can likely expect Luka Vuskovic to remain at the club.

According to a report in The Independent, Tottenham Hotspur—the 19-year-old Croatian's parent club—are weighing up a contract extension for Vuskovic before sending him back out on loan.

  • The centre-back's contract with the London club runs until 30 June 2030, though the expected extension is likely to include a significant pay rise designed to keep Vuskovic at Spurs for the long term and quell any thoughts of a move away.

    Should he be loaned out again, Hamburg SV would come into the picture, as both the Rothosen and Vuskovic have hinted at extending their partnership.

    The 19-year-old has repeatedly expressed a desire to play for HSV alongside his brother Mario, who missed last season due to a doping ban.

  • Vuskovic is now an undisputed first-team regular for HSV.

    Last season, Vuskovic emerged as one of the Bundesliga's biggest surprises. At Hamburg, he was an undisputed first-team regular under manager Merlin Polzin, making 30 competitive appearances and recording six goals and one assist.

    Consequently, the centre-back has attracted the interest of several top clubs. FC Bayern Munich is reported to be weighing a move for the 19-year-old.

    FC Barcelona are also said to be monitoring the 19-year-old, with initial talks already reported between club and player.
