Luka Vušković had an incredible 2025/26 season on loan with Hamburger SV, placing himself firmly on Bayern Munich’s radar.
However, when it came time to make a permanent move, the Bavarians sat idly by as Brighton & Hove Albion jumped to the front of the line to sign the Croatian defender from Tottenham Hotspur. Now, Sport Bild’s Christian Falk is reporting that Bayern Munich is still tracking the 19-year-old:
✅ It is TRUE: Bayern Munich are among the clubs keeping an eye on Luka Vušković’s development
at Brighton. Both sides have a history; Vušković was offered to FC Bayern before he made the step to the Premier League. Bayern didn’t have the space or the money to make a serious push for the Croatian at that point in time. Of course, he’s young and has plenty of time to develop further, so it’s natural he’d still be on the list. As I say, almost in every column, if they sell Min-jae Kim or Hiroki Ito, there will be a place and the money available to sign a new defender.
In that scenario, Luka Vušković is absolutely an interesting player for Bayern Munich, as he’s already shown his capabilities in the Bundesliga during an impressive loan spell with Hamburg. There is also interest from the footballer in playing for Bayern. So, a good sign from both sides for potential future talks. But at the moment, Bayern Munich are not in a situation where they can make an offer. Nonetheless, they’re keeping the centre-back on the shortlist and are continuing to track his development.
There is a long history between Bayern Munich and Vušković. The defender was initially on Bayern Munich’s radar as a youth player, but a scout deemed him “too arrogant on the ball,” leading the Bavarians to walk away from the pursuit.
That proved to be a decision the club would come to regret.
Since then, Bayern Munich has continued to follow Vušković through his time at Tottenham Hotspur, which included his impressive loan stint with HSV. Following his €54 million transfer to Brighton, Vušković has already been heralded as a major acquisition in England.
