It’s official: Abdukodir Khusanov has signed with Manchester City in a €40 million deal. The contract runs until June 2029.
This transfer could be a major milestone for the club and its fans. It will be fascinating to see how Khusanov fits into the team and what role he’ll play in City’s strategy. I’m optimistic he’ll showcase his best qualities on the pitch and help the team reach new heights. Only time will tell how this move pans out!
Interestingly, Khusanov will also become the first Uzbek player to feature in the Premier League—a historic moment in its own right.

We know that Akanji and Ake are sometimes very difficult to replace but especially in the same position there are still Stones and now Walker is also more often positioned at the center of the defender after Manchester City tried to regenearate the full defender with Lewis who in fact this could be one of the young players who can be projected for their future.
So in the end Khusanov must try harder if he really wants to be in the main line up because there are so many players who have great potential but this is also not a mistake to be at Mancehster City because however some of the current players for the defense are quite old and maybe they could leave in the near future like Walker who is 34 years old now even though his speed and quality are still quite good in the Manchester City defense.
