Manchester City sign “physical prodigy”
Manchester City are bringing in a "physical prodigy", as the Spanish press calls him - Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov is joining the English champions for around 50 million euros.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I'm delighted to be joining Manchester City, a club I've been following for a long time. The team is made up of the best players in the world and I can't wait to get to know them and play with them," said Khusanov about his transfer.
Record sale from Lens
The 20-year-old central defender from Uzbekistan joins from RC Lens and signs a contract until 2029. Khusanov only moved to Lens from Belarus for 450,000 euros in the summer of 2023. One and a half years and 24 Ligue 1 games later, Lens is now set to receive almost 90 times that amount: including bonus payments, the French first division club will receive over €40 million. Khusanov thus replaces Lois Openda as the RC record sale.
"Physical prodigy"
In France, his performances aroused the interest of numerous top clubs. The Spanish newspaper AS described Khusanov as a "physical prodigy". At City, coach Pep Guardiola is currently without several key players in defense, including Rúben Dias and John Stones. Nathan Aké and Manuel Akanji also struggled with injuries in the first half of the season. Khusanov should now provide relief.
