Abdukodir Khusanov, a member of the Uzbekistan national team and defender of the English club "Manchester City," has achieved another great success, Transfermarkt.com reports. According to the recently announced market value update, Husanov's value has reached €35 million, making him the most expensive defender among Asian footballers.
Transfermarkt, a reputable German portal, reassesses the value of players in European and world championships monthly based on market conditions, game statistics, and their role within the team. According to updated data, the value of South Korean defender Kim Min-je, currently playing for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, has decreased from €40 million to €32 million. As a result, Khusanov rose to the first step.
This news was a special pride for Uzbek football fans, as such a high value is a confirmation not only of the player's skill, but also of his prestige in European football. Although Khusanov is still young, he is taking tremendous steps to adapt to his playing style at Manchester City.
Football experts highly appreciate his technique, speed, and positional thinking. In particular, like any player under Pep Guardiola, Khusanov continues to improve tactically. It's being reported that the City coaching staff plans to field him more in the starting lineup in the coming seasons.
For information, Abdukodir Khusanov was temporarily suspended from the club several weeks ago due to an injury. However, in recent days, it has been reported that he has returned to training and is returning to full form. This news delighted both City fans and Uzbek sports fans.
Notably, Khusanov's value on Transfermarkt has doubled over the past year. At the beginning of 2024, it was valued at 17 million euros, and today this figure has reached 35 million. Such growth is also one of the rare cases in the global football market.
According to football analysts, if he continues to develop at the current pace, he could become one of the most expensive defenders not only in Asia but also in Europe in the next two years.
Thus, Abdukodir Khusanov's name has once again reached the center of the football world. His success is considered not only a personal achievement, but also an important step in raising the prestige of Uzbek football on a global scale.
