The Athletic claim that many top sides are monitoring him and “fierce competition” is developing for his signature.

Man City are supposedly the first to bid for him, putting in an offer of £10m with an additional £2m in add-ons.

The centre-back works with prominent agent Pini Zahavi.

Vuskovic plays for Hajduk Split in his homeland of Croatia.

The player has impressed in the club’s academy and in the Youth Champions League.

He was recently promoted to the Hajduk Split first-team and has since played five times, netting one goal.

Vuskovic made his professional debut in a derby game against bitter rivals Dinamo Zagreb.

His chance came just two days after his 16th birthday, which made him the youngest player to ever feature in the Croatian top division.

Vuskovic is from a footballing family, with grandfather Mario and dad Danijel ex-professionals.

His brother Mario currently plays for Hamburg in Germany.

Man City are also reportedly interested in another Croatian defender, Josko Gvardiol.

The RB Leipzig star is also wanted by Chelsea and Liverpool after impressing at the World Cup.
