The Madrid-based club Real Madrid is working to strengthen its squad ahead of the winter transfer window. The defensive issues faced by the “Royal Club” have compelled them to look for quick and reliable solutions. In this context, the Madrid team has set its sights on central defender Abdukodir Khusanov, who currently plays for Manchester City. This was reported by the publication Fichajes.net.
According to the source, the repeated injuries in Real Madrid's defense have significantly limited the team’s rotation options. The coaching staff is now looking for a reliable option that could deliver results in a short timeframe ahead of the crucial phase of the season. From this perspective, Khusanov’s candidacy is considered one of the most suitable solutions.
The Uzbek footballer has impressed specialists with his physical readiness, dominance in aerial duels, and modern central defender traits. Additionally, his ball-handling skills and adaptability to various defensive schemes are noted as qualities that align well with Real Madrid’s playing style.
The financial aspect of the potential transfer is also highlighted as an important factor. The “Royal Club” is currently not planning to spend a significant amount. Therefore, the priority is to sign Khusanov on a loan basis rather than a full transfer. This decision would also allow the team to assess the player’s capabilities on the field.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City’s management is not strongly opposed to the player temporarily joining another team. The club considers consistent playing time for Khusanov to be important and views a loan move as a logical solution.
At the same time, Real Madrid considers this potential deal to also be strategically beneficial. The club is aiming to expand its influence in the Asian market, and while not the primary reason, this factor could play a positive role in the decision-making process.
Currently, negotiations between the parties are in the initial stages. In the coming weeks, Real Madrid is expected to finalize its plans for the winter transfer window.
