His solid and regular performances have attracted the attention of several European clubs, including the Marseille club. .
Under contract with RC Lens until June 2027, Khusanov has an estimated market value of 5 million euros according to Transfermarkt.

With obvious room for improvement and a versatile profile, Khusanov could be an interesting option to integrate into OM's defensive rotation. However, no official offer has yet been made, and the file remains to be monitored in the coming weeks.
