Real Madrid Considers Loan for Uzbekistan National Team Defender Abdukodir Khusanov

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Real Madrid has expressed interest in a loan deal for Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov, who currently plays for Manchester City, according to Fichajes. The move is motivated by injuries within Madrid’s defensive line and the club’s desire to strengthen the squad without significant financial outlay.

The club values Khusanov’s physical attributes, reliable defensive performance, and experience despite his young age, and believes he could make an immediate impact in upcoming matches.

The transfer is also being considered from a marketing perspective, as the presence of an Uzbek player could boost Real Madrid’s popularity in Central Asia.

Negotiations are in the early stages, and Manchester City has received Madrid’s interest positively. Any potential deal will depend on the terms of the loan and the distribution of Khusanov’s salary for the remainder of the season.

Previously, French club Lens and English club Liverpool had shown interest in Khusanov, but Manchester City is not currently willing to sell or loan out the defender.
