Abduqodir Khusanov May Leave Manchester City
Sport
Uzbekistan national team defender Abduqodir Khusanov may leave Manchester City during the upcoming summer transfer window. The club’s management is seriously considering the option of loaning him out temporarily.
The 21-year-old defender, regarded as one of Uzbekistan's most promising young talents, signed with Manchester City during the winter transfer window. The €40 million transfer fee made him not only a national star but also a recognized name in Asian football. However, establishing a permanent place under Pep Guardiola has proven to be a challenge.
There is intense competition in City's defensive line, making it difficult for Khusanov to secure regular playing time. Nevertheless, he has had the rare opportunity to train under one of the world’s most respected managers. Still, consistent game time is crucial for the development of a young player, beyond just training.
It appears that Guardiola and the coaching staff have reached a clear decision — to provide Khusanov with regular match experience through a loan move to another club. Several Premier League teams and clubs from other European leagues have already shown interest in the Uzbek defender. His physical attributes, composure on the pitch, and technical skills have caught the attention of multiple coaches.
According to experts, a temporary departure could greatly benefit Khusanov’s mental and professional growth. It’s seen as not only a means to build self-confidence but also an essential step in adapting to the highly competitive environment of European football.
