Absent this weekend from the Lensois group during the victory in Le Havre, Abdukodir Khusanov is in the process of being transferred during this winter transfer window. The latest news is that Manchester City is in pole position.
On Friday, Will Still revealed that the Uzbek defender was absent from training because he was ill. However, he made no bones about the player's future at Racing Club de Lens. Abdukodir Khusanov is the biggest market value currently in the RC Lens squad.
Thus, with a high-flying first part of the season, the 20-year-old attracted the attention of European clubs and even big European clubs. On the list of contenders, we find the reigning English champion, Manchester City, who is strongly interested in the Lensois.
Moreover, it is this club which has advanced its pawns the most to recruit the Uzbek international. According to Foot Mercato, the agreement between the two clubs is close and only administrative details remain to be resolved. The formalization should be made Tuesday or Wednesday.
Abdukodir Khusanov expected to join City until June 2029 and the transfer should bring in 50 million euros including bonus for RC Lens. As a reminder, the defender arrived in Pas-de-Calais in the summer of 2024 for 100,000 euros. Since then, he has played 31 matches in the Sang et Or jersey.
