City Snubs Lyon: Khusanov Loan Blocked

Manchester City has declined to loan Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov to France’s Lyon free of charge. According to L’Équipe, the move was proposed as part of negotiations for Lyon’s midfielder Ryan Sherkin. Initially, City considered offering one of their players temporarily in exchange, with Husanov selected. However, City firmly rejected a no‑fee loan. This move demonstrates City’s intent to maintain control over the player.

Khusanov is regarded not just as a standard trade piece, but as a high‑potential asset. The situation also highlights the rising reputation of Uzbek footballers in Europe. Additional info: Husanov moved to City from France’s Lens in winter, and is currently participating in the FIFA Club World Cup with the club. Lyon’s interest confirms his significant potential.
