Abbosbek Fayzullaev and “Istanbul Basaksehir”: Will the road to Europe open?
The transfer season in European football is in full swing. In the spotlight of fans is the newly spread information about the possible transfer of Uzbekistan national team and CSKA’s attacking star Abbosbek Fayzullaev to “Istanbul Basaksehir”.

In recent days, Turkish journalist Usmon Altunterim, referring to his sources, has shared with fans the main details behind this transfer. According to him, negotiations have been actively ongoing for about 20 days and Abbosbek himself has agreed to the transfer. It is said that the presence of another Uzbek — Eldor Shomurodov — in the Turkish squad had a significant influence on this decision.

Notably, “Basaksehir” club directly cooperates with City Football Group, the holding company that owns “Manchester City”. Therefore, Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s transfer is also expected to open a path for him to perform in Europe’s top leagues in the future. There are reports that the Turkish club is ready to pay 7.5 million euros and bonuses for Fayzullaev.

Another famous insider, Ivan Karpov, also emphasized that this transfer is being implemented at the initiative of City Football Group. It was even these specialists who recommended to Basaksehir’s management to sign Abbosbek.

— "Abbos’s transfer from CSKA is the result of Istanbul Basaksehir’s entry into Sheikh Mansour’s holding. It was precisely his specialists who recommended Istanbul Basaksehir to acquire the attacking player of the Uzbekistan national team," wrote insider Ivan Karpov.

In Russian football circles, whether Abbos will stay in the Premier League or leave is also being seriously discussed. Former vice-president of Lokomotiv Moscow club Yuri Belous commented on the matter, saying that if Fayzullaev leaves, it will be a loss not only for CSKA but also for all Russian football. He also noted that Turkey is a Muslim country and that this decision is significant for Abbos and his family personally.

— "Fayzullaev’s departure will be a loss not only for the “Army Men”, but also for all Russian football. In addition to the fact that Abbosbek is a very efficient player, his game gives people joy.

Is this transfer profitable now? They acquired Fayzullaev for only 500 thousand euros. The point is elsewhere. If the Uzbekistan national team shows itself at the World Cup next year, there will be an opportunity to transfer Fayzullaev for a large sum.

From Abbosbek’s point of view, Moscow is a fantastic city, it’s hard to say how comfortable he will be in Turkey. Anyway, Turkey, like Uzbekistan, is a Muslim country, so Fayzullaev himself, his agents, and his parents have thought this over carefully
," said former vice-president of Lokomotiv Moscow club Yuri Belous.

As a product of Pakhtakor, Abbosbek Fayzullaev moved to CSKA in August 2023, and the Moscow club paid 500 thousand euros for this transfer. Already in his first season, he was recognized as one of the biggest discoveries of Russian football. In addition, he was named Asia’s best young footballer.

His first season was rich in trophies — with CSKA, he won a bronze medal in the championship, the Cup, and the Super Cup, while also playing in 72 matches, scoring 8 goals, and providing 22 assists.

The financial side of the transfer is also noteworthy — if CSKA acquired Fayzullaev for 500 thousand euros, now the amount is said to be 7.5 million euros and bonuses. This could go down in history as a great achievement for the young Uzbek star and a big step on the road to Europe.

In short, Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s potential move to “Basaksehir” is not only his personal development, but also a big step for all Uzbek football. Fans are waiting for the official announcement of the transfer and hope that the young star will shine even brighter in Europe.
