Barcelona learn Luka Vuskovic price after holding initial talks over potential summer transfer

Barcelona have discovered the steep asking price for Croatian prodigy Luka Vuskovic after opening preliminary discussions with the player’s representative, Pini Zahavi, ahead of the forthcoming summer window, according to Sport Bild.

The 17-year-old, currently on loan in the Bundesliga, has caught the eye of the Catalan giants with a series of mature performances that belie his age. Sources close to the negotiations indicate that Zahavi—who also handles the affairs of Robert Lewandowski and Hansi Flick—enjoys a productive relationship with Barça president Joan Laporta, smoothing the path for early dialogue.

Yet any move to Camp Nou will demand heavy financial firepower: Vuskovic’s valuation has been set at approximately €60 million, a figure that could swell further if the striker excels on the global stage at the 2026 World Cup with Croatia.

Competition is expected to be fierce. Liverpool, Real Madrid and Chelsea have all registered their interest, although the player is understood to view Spain as a favoured future destination. The youngster is scheduled to return to parent club Tottenham Hotspur upon the expiry of his loan, yet uncertainty clouds his long-term role in north London. Spurs’ relegation battle and the decision to send him out on temporary assignment have reportedly left Vuskovic questioning his prospects at the club, ensuring a summer of intense speculation surrounding his next step.
