Abdukodir Khusanov, 20-year-old center-back for RC Lens (under contract until 2027) and Uzbekistan, has been announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s leads for the mercato, and the Lens club has made it known that it is listening to offers. Foot Mercato reports this Monday that there is a new top-level contender.
A European ogre is added to a long list.
“According to our information, a meeting between Manchester City, Jorge Mendes and RC Lens took place last week in the presence of the player’s father Khikmatzhon Khoshimov and his agent Khasbiullin Gairat. Real Madrid, who are looking for a central defender, are also very interested in the player’s profile. Lens’s objective is to recover much more than €25m.
But what about the player? He and his representatives are following the situation with interest. Today, clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and above all Newcastle (one of the hottest clubs at the moment, along with Real Madrid and Manchester City) are intermediate clubs that could enable Khusanov to take the next step before making the leap to the European top flight”.
We’re wary, there’s nothing concrete yet. However, the sports media also relayed comments from Khusanov’s entourage, explaining that he understands the situation and is also ready to stay at Lens. It’s safe to assume that this information is not random.
The young defender is very much in demand, and we’re waiting to see just how ready PSG really are to enter the race. Although an interest would be logical, given that Milan Skriniar (29) is expected to leave.
For the moment, there’s a lot of excitement, but no significant progress for anyone. Let’s hope for something concrete soon… And perhaps some good news for PSG.
