Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Brighton & Hove Albion defender Luka Vuskovic as they assess options to strengthen their defence ahead of the 2027 transfer windows.

According to Bernabeu Digital , the Croatian centre-back is among the players under consideration as Los Blancos plan for a potential defensive overhaul in the summer of 2027.

The interest comes as Real Madrid prepare for possible departures at centre-back.

On that note, Raul Asencio could be moved on , while Antonio Rudiger is expected to leave when his contract expires.

The club therefore wants to recruit at least one high-quality defender to reinforce the squad for the long term.

Vuskovic, whose market value, as per Transfermarkt, is estimated €60 million, is attracting attention from several major European clubs, although Brighton are understood to have no intention of selling the 19-year-old.

Luka Vuskovic emerges as Real Madrid transfer target

According to Bernabeu Digital, Real Madrid are monitoring Vuskovic as they search for a centre-back capable of strengthening their defensive options.

The Croatian has also attracted interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, while Tottenham are also keeping track of a player they sold last summer.

Understandably so, the competition for his signature could make any potential deal difficult, particularly with Brighton reluctant to part ways with the defender.

At Real Madrid, they are assessing several candidates, with their priority being to identify players who can provide quality and long-term stability.

Real Madrid consider two centre-back signings for 2027

As such, Real Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing in two centre-backs across the upcoming transfer windows.

Vuskovic is one potential option, while Alessandro Bastoni remains another name associated with the club’s defensive plans.

Bastoni was a target for Real Madrid last summer , and despite failing to land the Italian, his profile continues to fit the type of reinforcement being considered.

Notably, the potential exits of Asencio and Rudiger would leave Madrid needing fresh depth and experience at centre-back, and recruiting early could help the club avoid entering a transfer window without a clear succession plan.
