Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool are “seriously interested” in the 19-year-old centre-back, while Bayern Munich and Chelsea are also monitoring his progress closely.

Vuskovic joined Brighton from Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record deal worth up to £50 million following an impressive loan spell at Hamburg. Since arriving on the south coast, he has established himself as a regular starter in the Premier League and enhanced his reputation through his aerial ability, composure in possession and physical presence.

Barcelona have tracked Vuskovic since last season, while Real Madrid and Liverpool are said to have intensified their interest more recently. However, no formal offers have been made, and any concrete move is expected to be considered next summer rather than in January.

Brighton remain in a strong position, with Vuskovic under contract until 2031 and regarded as a key part of Fabian Hurzeler’s plans.
