Amidst the intensified competition among Premier League clubs, interest in Khusанов has been expressed by 12 clubs, including Newcastle. Ultimately, the "Citizens" triumphed, offering a sum of 50 million euros for the young talent. Hasbillin emphasized that Newcastle fought until the end, but financial constraints and other factors hindered them from making a concrete offer.
Abduqodir Khusанов caught the attention of Josep Guardiola with his physical strength and speed. In one of the matches of the French championship, Khusанов accelerated to an impressive 37 km/h, highlighted the agent.
"As far as I understand, Abduqodir is a young, physically strong defender who isn’t afraid of a challenge. He doesn’t back down from anyone. Pep needed exactly such a player. By all metrics, Khusанов is among the top five defenders in Europe under 23. Moreover, among all the clubs that contacted us, he consistently ranked first on their lists," Hasbillin stated in an interview.
Despite the high competition at City, Khusанов is ready to prove himself and meet the expectations of the coaching staff. Guardiola intends to integrate him into the team right away, rather than sending him out on loan, which indicates a high level of trust and expectations placed on the young Uzbek defender, according to Hasbillin.
