Manchester City has signed defender Abdukodir Khusanov of the lens for 33. 5 million pounds sterling.
The centre-back has joined the Premier League champions on a four-and-a-half-year contract which also contains the option of a further year until June 2030.
The measure is helping City to obtain a very necessary defensive reinforcement after containing several injury disorders in that term, which included setbacks for the John Stones and Ruben days.
Khusanov becomes the first Uzbekistan to score for a Premier League club, having been limited 18 times.
The lens would have paid £ 84,000 by Khusanov of the Bélarus Club Energetik-Bgu 18 months ago.
Khusanov played 16 times for this season’s purpose and scored his first purpose for the club opposite Paris Saint-Germain.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester City, a club that I have enjoyed watching for a long time,” the defender told the Manchester City website.
“Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest coaches ever and I am so excited to learn from him and improve my game even more.”
Khusanov will be the first player from Uzbekistan to appear in the Premier League.
The beginnings of the defender will take the number of nations represented in the competition, since its logo is replaced in 1992, in 126 and Uzbekistan will be the 19 with a single player.
With Khusanov in the door, Douglas Luiz is now among the names of the Manchester City midfielder’s targets.
The club is exploring features in the market for a new number 6 and is one of the figures for those they are looking for.
Interests can accentuate if Juventus is willing to settle for a correct loan of six months, without clauses for permanent transfer.
It is guaranteed that the people add an addition in this position in this window, but it is an option if the agreement is adjusted.
Sky Sports News has reported in the past that they will not chase Martin Zubimendi of the Real Sociedad, who is definitive in a transfer to Arsenal in the summer, nor Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle.
Luiz is expected to leave Juventus in some capacity this month and the former Aston Villa star wants to move back to the Premier League.
He moved to Juve last summer.
