Uzbekistan national team's young central defender Abdukodir Khusanov's recent situation at Manchester City has raised concerns among Uzbek fans. The 21-year-old footballer, who attracted everyone's attention with his excellent performances under Pep Guardiola in the middle of the season, has not been playing recently, leading to various discussions.
Khusanov last appeared in an official match on March 30, playing in the first half of the FA Cup game against Bournemouth, and has not featured in any official match since then. Before this, the Uzbek footballer participated in a total of nine matches in the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup, scoring one goal.
Later, Khusanov lost his place to teammate Nico O'Reilly due to internal team competition, which affected his position in the starting lineup. For many, the current situation of the player, who had regularly received praise from head coach Pep Guardiola until now, was unexpected.
Now, several authoritative European publications have started to shed light on the situation around Abdukodir, spreading information that he might change teams. In particular, the famous Spanish portal fichajes.net reports that the Uzbek defender could move to another club on loan in the upcoming transfer window to gain experience.
The publication emphasizes that despite his great potential, Abdukodir faces intense competition for a place in the Citizens' starting lineup, which prevents him from playing regularly. Pep Guardiola supports the idea of sending him on loan, believing this experience would help the player better adapt to European football.
In turn, there is interest in the young footballer not only from clubs in the English Premier League but also from other strong European leagues. Manchester City's management also considers a loan to be an important step in Abdukodir's professional development, which could strengthen his role in the team in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Abdukodir Khusanov joined Manchester City this January from French club Lens. For his transfer, Manchester City agreed to pay a total of 50 million euros and signed a contract with the player until the summer of 2029. Currently, Khusanov is valued at 35 million euros by the Transfermarkt portal, remaining the most expensive footballer from Central Asia.
Uzbek fans are now eagerly awaiting news about the player's future and where he will start next season. Undoubtedly, a loan move could open new opportunities in Abdukodir's career. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
