Will RC Lens be able to retain Abdukodir Khusanov at the end of the season? Considering the performances of the Uzbek defender and his many suitors, this risks being complicated.
Without a doubt the big revelation of this first part of the season in Ligue 1, Khusanov impresses. An indisputable starter in the Lens defense, “Le Monstre” has established himself as one of the best in his position in Ligue 1, relegating Jonathan Gradit to the bench.
It is therefore in this context that many large European teams are very attentive to his situation, and could well draw an offer during the next summer transfer window, or even before.
In the papers of Premier League, Bundesliga, and even PSG clubs, Khusanov, who interests OM, is also in the sights of a Spanish great.
According to information from insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone has fallen under the spell of the powerful RC Lens defender.
Although the best defense in La Liga with only eight conceded since the start of the season, Atlético will have to strengthen to replace the aging Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta, who have both been repositioned in the axis of defense. Aged 35, the Belgian and the Spaniard will be at the end of their contracts at the end of the season.
If sportingly the departure of Abdukodir Khusanov would be very bad news for RC Lens, financially the Artesian club could achieve enormous added value. Arriving in 2023 for €100,000 from Energetik-BGU Minsk (Belarus), the Uzbek colossus is now valued at 35/40 million euros by the RCL. An amount which could largely fill the estimated deficit at the end of the season.
