Premier League defending champions Manchester City and Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly submitted an opening bid for Hajduk Split defender Luka Vuskovic.
According to 90min, the two European giants have indicated an interest in Vuskovic, but the Croatian side are in no rush to finalise a deal.
The 16-year-old centre-half’s contract at Hajduk runs until 2026. But they are expected to agree to a sale this summer to balance the books.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side are reportedly the first team to approach, proposing a deal worth up to €12m for Vuskovic, the youngest player to feature in the Croatian top flight. He is also the youngest Croatian to play and to score in the UEFA Youth League and is highly thought of in his home country, resulting in Hajduk believing they can fetch a higher fee for him.
The Croatian side believes €15m is a more realistic valuation for the 16-year-old, and so are not ready to agree on a sale for him at this moment.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham have also shown an interest in the teenager. Across Europe, Lyon, PSG, Benfica, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund are also keen on landing Vuskovic.
However, the feeling is that Hajduk Split and Vuskovic want the player to remain for at least one more season, as he has already become a regular in the club’s senior set-up.
