Man City brings unknown for 40 million euros! He is Pep’s dream player sport

Pep gets the player he wants!

Abdukodir Khusanov (20) attracted attention with strong performances in the French league for RC Lens. The Uzbek central defender has appeared in 13 of 16 games this season. He missed 3 games due to suspensions.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Pep Guardiola’s desired transfer should have been resolved. The Citizens are transferring 40 million euros plus bonus payments to France. A contract until 2029 with an option for a further year is to be negotiated.

Khusanov is now waiting for the green light for his flight to England; the medical check has not yet been scheduled.

There have been rumors about Khusanov moving to the island since December.

The 20-year-old was considered a pass-proof central defender – which is why Guardiola definitely wanted to bring him in as reinforcement. Tottenham and Newcastle were also said to be interested.

Things are not going well at Manchester City at the moment. This season, the reigning English champions have failed to win seven games in a row across all competitions. One reason: ongoing defense concerns. Central defender Rúben Dias (27) is out due to a muscle injury, John Stones (30/foot injury) is also not fit. Nathan Aké (29) and Manuel Akanji (29) were missing in the first half of the season with injuries. Probably also a reason why Pep Guardiola paid 40 million euros for an almost unknown defender.
