Joining City and PSG in the race for Vuskovic’s signature are Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur. The young defender is expected to be sold during the upcoming summer transfer window, despite having a contract with Hajduk Split that runs until 2026.

Vuskovic has reportedly expressed a desire to return to Hajduk on loan for the next season, which may be a factor in negotiations between the player’s representatives and interested clubs.

It remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure the services of the highly-rated youngster, but the level of interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs indicates that Vuskovic is a talent to watch in the coming years.
