Bayern Munich is reportedly observing the development of Brighton centre-back Luka Vušković. The Croatian international joined Brighton from Tottenham this summer for a fee of £50 million and is considered a target for several top European clubs.

However, Bayern's potential move hinges on them first selling one of their backup centre-backs. The club is focused on achieving squad balance and maintaining financial prudence. Christian Falk informed CF Bayern Insider that Bayern previously expressed interest in Vušković before his transfer to the Premier League but lacked the resources at that time.

Falk noted that if Bayern sells either Min-jae Kim or Hiroki Ito, they may have the funds and space to secure Vušković, who has demonstrated his abilities during a successful loan at Hamburg. The player is also interested in joining Bayern, suggesting a mutual interest for potential future discussions. Currently, Bayern is not in a position to make an offer but continues to track Vušković’s progress.

The situation for Bayern remains complex due to the uncertain future of Min-jae Kim at Allianz Arena, and discussions between the club and player could influence outcomes. Additionally, a sale of Hiroki Ito would likely not generate enough funds to cover the transfer of Vušković.

While comparisons between Vušković and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk are premature, Vušković has shown significant promise. In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, he recorded impressive stats, winning 67.6% of duels and 74.5% of aerial duels, ranking in the top percentiles for those metrics. Although his performance has dipped since returning to the Premier League, he is still a 19-year-old player in the early stages of his career, making him an intriguing prospect for clubs like Bayern.
