Abdukodir Khusanov has, for several weeks, been courted by European clubs. Manchester City would be in pole position to enlist him. His coach, Pep Guardiola, preferred not to respond on the subject.

Filling the gaps in defense
Then, he was questioned about Abdukodir Khusanov secondly. There, the former Bayern Munich coach was more evasive: “The club has not announced anything. I don't know. » A pirouette which allowed him to talk about his squad and the hoped-for return of the injured. ” I don't know. What I expect from the start of the season is that the squad we started with is back. Rodri it's impossible (Editor's note: he comes back this season). It's only one player, but the others are back. That's what I wanted. If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have gone to the transfer window this season. Absolutely not, and we would not be in the position we are in. People say it's Rodri, but it's not just Rodri. We have a lot of problems, especially in defense, and that's still the case, and that's why the club is thinking about what to do during this transfer window or this summer. »
-As a reminder, yesterday and according to Foot Mercato, only a few administrative details remained to finalize the transfer of Abdukodir Khusanov between Racing Club de Lens and Manchester City. A formalization is expected today or tomorrow.
