The clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of €40 million (£33.5 million), with additional performance-related bonuses. Khusanov is expected to arrive in England shortly, accompanied by his representatives, to complete the necessary medical examinations and formalize the contract.
Khusanov's journey to this point has been remarkable. After being released by his home country's club, Bunyodkor, he moved to Belarus to join Energetik-BGU, where his performances caught the attention of European scouts. In July 2023, Lens secured his services for a modest fee of €100,000. His rapid development in Ligue 1 has now led to this significant move to the Premier League champions.
This acquisition aligns with Manchester City's strategy to strengthen their defensive options amid injury challenges. The club is also pursuing other targets, including Brazilian defender Vitor Reis from Palmeiras and Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, as part of their efforts to bolster the squad during the January transfer window.
