Will Abdukodir Khusanov stay or go on loan?

European football has entered a decisive phase. The fight for the championship, trophies and Euro Cup places is in full swing. Along with this, clubs have also begun serious preparations for summer transfers.

At the same time, one of the absolute rulers of the English Premier League in recent years, Manchester City, lost the championship this year to Liverpool. But there is no break in the club - head coach Josep Guardiola has already started working on the new season.

Rebuilding began in January

Guardiola began to form a team for the future in the winter transfer window itself. In January, he enriched the "city" team with Uzbek Abdukоdir Khusanov, Brazilian Vitor Reis, Spanish Nico Gonzalez and Egyptian Omar Marmush. These transfers indicate that serious changes have begun in the team.

Defensive line ready, no transfers required?

Richard Dunn, who played for City in the early 2000s and now works as a football analyst, gave his opinion on the team's composition to sportsmole.co.uk. According to him, the club does not feel the need to rebuild the defensive line.

"In January, talents such as Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis were brought in. In addition, the team has Dias, Guardiola, Akanji, Ake, Stones. There is strong competition in every position. If there are no injuries, there is no problem in central defense," says Dunn.

Experience vs. age - balance is important

In his opinion, at the moment, along with the youth in the team, experienced defenders who can support them should be retained.

“John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and others are in the prime of their careers. Khusanov and Reis are rising stars. If the club can maintain that balance, there will be no problem. The youngsters need to learn from the experienced.”

Dunn also made a special mention of Abdukodir Khusanov:

“He has been in the spotlight since he arrived. Despite his short time, he has shown growth. He has talent, he should not be lost. I think Guardiola will use him.”

Will he go on loan? Is Barca calling?

Meanwhile, various sources have recently begun to spread information that Josep Guardiola is considering loaning Khusanov out in the summer.

Even according to some sources, big clubs like Barcelona are interested in Abdukodir Khusanov. It is said that several European clubs have officially made offers to him.

In conclusion...

Manchester City are reshaping their defence. Abdukodir Khusanov is at the heart of this process. Will he stay? Will he be loaned out? Or will he start a new phase at a club like Barca?
