Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luka Vuckovic is on Barcelona's radar for the summer as the Catalans look for a new centre-back for the future.
Sport Bild Report Barcelona are one of the possible options for the 19-year-old, who has been recommended by Croatian icon Ivan Rakitic.
The German newspaper today covered the Tottenham centre-back ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer for him.
frosty tottenham affair
Luka Vuckovic is set to return to Tottenham later this year after a successful loan spell at HSV Hamburg. But whether he will remain at Spurs beyond that point is currently unclear.
Sportbild report that Vuckovic is on bad terms with Spurs. He was disappointed by Tottenham's decision to loan him out last summer. He also wants to play in Europe next season.
This has made some Champions League clubs cautious of him, as the Croatian is considered a mega-talent in European football. His performances for HSV have further cemented this. Liverpool are also among those talking about him.
Barcelona eyes Vuckovic
Barcelona especially have their eyes on the centre-back. They are looking for long, strong headers on the ball and keeping an eye on Luka Vuckovic.
The defender has also made it clear that he would 'like to play in Spain' at some point. This is being seen as a transfer incentive for Barcelona.
There is also the fact that he is represented by Pini Zahavi. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has a good relationship with the 83-year-old. He also represents Barcelona coach Hansi Flick and striker Robert Lewandowski.
According to Sportbild it is clear that Zahavi is in contact with the Catalans about Vuckovic. Furthermore, former Barça star Ivan Rakitic has also recommended the HSV defender to his former club.
tottenham asking price
The question is whether Tottenham want to sell, especially in the summer window in which Christian Romero and Micky Van Veen are pushing to leave.
They currently value Vuckovic at €60 million, but that figure is rising. It would likely get a big boost if he plays in the World Cup with Croatia this summer.
It is unclear whether Barcelona will pay this amount or not. But they are making the rounds and it feels like Zahvi is working behind the scenes; This is a story that could pick up real steam soon.
