The future of Abdugadir Husanov in "City" was clarified

The January transfer of Uzbekistan national team central defender Abdukadir Khusanov from Lens to Manchester City was one of the most sensational transfers of 2025.

Indeed, during the winter transfer window, about twenty European clubs showed interest in the Uzbek player. Among them were teams that seriously approached this transfer.

In the end, Manchester City paid 50 million euros, including bonuses, and snapped up the 20-year-old central defender.

Thus began Abdukadir Khusanov's adventures in English football. The first Uzbek player in the English Premier League is making a very good impression. He even managed to score his first goal in the FA Cup.

The famous Russian football agent Dmitry Seluk assessed the future of Abdukadir Khusanov at Manchester City.

- Considering the huge amount of money for which Abdukadir Khusanov was transferred, Josep Guardiola will not refuse the services of this player.

I think that if Abdukadir does not make any serious mistakes, he will be given regular game practice. Regardless of what happens, Khusanov will have enough opportunities to show himself at Manchester City, - said Dmitry Seluk.

Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola also expressed his opinion about the Uzbek player several times in interviews with journalists. In none of them did the Spanish specialist criticize his new player. Even when Abdukadir was the cause of the goal in the first five minutes of his debut match against Chelsea and received a yellow card, none of the "city" players criticized him. On the contrary, starting with Guardiola, stars such as Ederson, Akanji, Kevin de Bruyne, and Holland supported him.

Josep Guardiola, however, did not hide the fact that he had high hopes for the 20-year-old Uzbek player.

- Abdukadir Khusanov could become a great player in the future. The potential we saw in him will raise him to a high level. This will benefit all of us.

I really liked Abdukadir's composure and extreme speed in working with the ball. Now he needs to improve his decision-making skills, and this is a matter of age, - said Josep Guardiola.

It should be recalled that Abdukadir Khusanov learned the first secrets of football at the Bunyodkor academy. He began his professional career in 2022 at the Belarusian club Energetik-BGU.

A year later, he was taken by Lens, the then vice-champion of France. After playing in France for a year and a half, our compatriot has finally found a place at Manchester City. Abdukadir Khusanov became Lens' most expensive transfer. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
