Liverpool identify Luka Vuskovic as top centre-back target, monstrous price revealed

Liverpool have identified Brighton centre-back Luka Vuskovic as a top target to potentially succeed Virgil van Dijk in their defence. Reports indicate Brighton could demand upwards of €100 million, or around £85 million to £90 million, for a permanent transfer of the 19-year-old Croatian international.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly hold a 20 percent sell-on clause and matching rights for Vuskovic but lack a buy-back option. Liverpool and Bayern Munich continue to monitor the defender, while the Reds also maintain interest in Chelsea's Levi Colwill.
