Hamburg SV has bid a heartfelt farewell to the 19-year-old defender, releasing an emotional video and a touching article on their official website. They lauded Vušković not just for his skills on the pitch – evident in his 30 appearances and six goals this season – but for his exceptional 'will to win' and professional attitude. His former coach, Merlin Polzin, highlighted Vušković's relentless drive for improvement, stating that few players possess such a mindset.
Besides the things everyone can see on the field, what truly sets Luka apart is his incredible will to win. He always wants to improve. His attitude towards professional football is top-notch. I had the privilege of working with only a few players who think like that.
Vušković himself expressed deep affection for Hamburg, calling it his 'second home' and conveying immense love for the club, its players, staff, and fans.

We eagerly anticipate his next steps, confident that his experience at HSV has further honed his abilities as he continues his promising career.
I love this club a little too much. I feel so much love for the club, the players, the staff, the fans. Hamburg has become my second home.
