Manchester City has once again demonstrated its power in the transfer market by beating Real Madrid to the signing of Abdukodir Khusanov, the young Uzbek central defender who has shone this season at RC Lens. As reported by Foot Mercato, the team led by Pep Guardiola will close the deal for the promising defender for a sum close to 50 million euros, confirming its strong commitment to the future.

Khusanov, 20 years old, has been one of the great revelations of Ligue 1 this season. His imposing physical presence, combined with a notable ability for anticipation and ball distribution, has made him one of the most sought-after defenders in European football. Real Madrid had been closely monitoring his progress in recent months, considering the Uzbek as an ideal option to strengthen their defense for the future.

However, Manchester City, known for not holding back in expenses when it comes to securing young talent, did not hesitate to step in and swiftly close the deal. With this addition, Guardiola adds a defender with great potential to his squad, solidifying the concept of building a team that not only succeeds in the present but also has a strong core for the years to come.

City's decision to spend big does not come as a surprise, as it has been a recurring strategy for the English club in recent transfer windows. For Real Madrid, this operation represents a significant setback, as they had hoped that patience and their historic prestige would be enough to sway the player. Now, Khusanov will join the reigning Premier League champions, where he will seek to make the definitive leap and confirm all the potential he has displayed in France.
