The transfer rumors surrounding talented Uzbek defender Abduqodir Husanov have entered a new phase. Although it has been less than a year since his move to Manchester City, the future of our compatriot is under the spotlight of Europe's biggest clubs and prestigious media outlets.
Guardiola's plans and competition
According to "CityXtra," Pep Guardiola sees Husanov as a promising fit for the team's defense. However, due to intense competition within the "Citizens" and the player's adaptation process, his playing time this season has been somewhat limited.
- Adaptation phase: The club's management views Husanov's first year not as a results-driven period but as a time to integrate into the tactical system.
- Coaching supervision: The coaching staff is working hard with Abduqodir to improve his positioning on the field and enhance his physical condition.
Transfer market "battle": Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Lens
Husanov's limited playing time has spurred other football giants into action. The "Sport Witness" publication has revealed some intriguing offers expected during the winter transfer window:
- Liverpool: The Merseyside club is reportedly ready to pay €50 million for the Uzbek defender to reinforce their defense.
- Real Madrid: The Spanish giant is considering a loan deal for Husanov due to injuries in their current squad.
- Lens: The French club is looking to bring back its former player, at least temporarily.
Manchester City's firm stance: Husanov is not for sale!
Despite the various rumors, Manchester City’s management and Guardiola have firmly stated their position. The club has no intention of letting the promising defender go, especially to a direct Premier League rival like Liverpool.
"Manchester City acquires young talents as part of a long-term strategy. Letting Husanov leave would go entirely against the club's vision," wrote expert Freddie Pie.
Contract and value
Currently, Abduqodir Husanov's transfer value is estimated at €35 million. His active contract with Manchester City runs until the summer of 2029. Therefore, the "Citizens" are in no rush and remain confident about the Uzbek "machine" shining at Etihad Stadium.
What do you think? Should Abduqodir Husanov wait patiently on Manchester City's bench or move to a club like Liverpool where a starting position is guaranteed?
