The 18-year-old centre-back, who is currently gaining valuable experience on loan at Hamburger SV, has attracted attention with a series of composed and authoritative performances in Germany, prompting inquiries from the Bundesliga’s elite, sources close to the agency industry have informed.

The Tottenham youngster is wanted by Bundesliga giants
Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are said to have gone a step further and informally contacted Tottenham Hotspur to investigate the defender’s availability.
However, Spurs have been quick to dismiss any suggestion of a sale.
Internally, Tottenham view Vušković as a cornerstone of their future backline. The Croatian teenager was signed from Hajduk Split last summer and was immediately loaned to Hamburg as part of a carefully structured development plan.
That strategy now appears justified, with scouts praising his maturity, aerial dominance and calm distribution despite his young age.

Importantly for Spurs, Vušković is tied to a long-term contract that runs until 2030, putting the North London club in a real position of strength.
However, the growing interest has led to internal discussions at Tottenham over whether his integration should be accelerated.
One option being considered is recalling Vušković from his season-long loan in January.
Spurs have no interest in letting Vušković leave
Such a move would not only demonstrate Spurs’ belief in the player, but also cool outside interest by placing him firmly in the Premier League environment.
For now, the player himself seems more focused on development than speculation. Vušković has publicly stated that he has not held talks with Tottenham over an early recall and expects to stay at Hamburger SV until the end of the season.
From his perspective, regular playing minutes and continued progression in Germany are seen as crucial steps before he makes the jump to English football.
With defensive depth a long-term priority and several senior options approaching the key stage of their careers, Spurs see the teenager as a natural successor within their system.
