After spending last season at Hamburg, Vuskovic and his representatives have made clear to Spurs his desire to play regular first team football at a permanent club, not another loan.
Spurs were not able to guarantee Vuskovic first team football, having signed Marcos Senesi and Brighton's Jan Paul Van Hecke in the summer, adding to their current options of Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso and Micky van de Ven.
Vuskovic departs as Spurs' fourth-biggest sale after Harry Kane, Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker.
Inter Milan keen on Spurs' Spence
Meanwhile, Inter Milan are interested in Tottenham and England full-back Djed Spence, according to Sky in Italy.
Spence is one of a number of options on the Italian champions' list to replace Denzel Dumfries, who joined Real Madrid earlier this summer.
Sky Sports News understands Everton have also internally discussed a move for Spence.
It remains to be seen if Spence - who is with England at the World Cup - would be affordable for Inter, who also have Givairo Read of Feyenoord and Vanderson of Monaco also on their list.
