Abdukodir Khusanov signs new long-term deal at Manchester City
The 22-year-old defender joined City from Lens in January 2025
Abdukodir Khusanov has signed a new five-year contract extension with Manchester City, the Premier League side have announced.
The 22-year-old defender joined City from Lens in January 2025 and has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until summer 2031.
Khusanov was part of the City team who finished second in the Premier League last season and helped them lift both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
On the international stage, the defender has been capped 30 times for Uzbekistan and recently featured at the World Cup, playing in all three of their Group K matches.
Speaking about his new deal, Khusanov said: “This is a great day for me and my family – I am really happy to extend my stay at City.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute since I arrived in Manchester and I feel I am growing and learning a lot as a player.
“I have a new challenge now, which is to impress (new manager) Enzo Maresca and his staff and ensure I am in his team regularly. I am determined to do that.
“Thank you to the City fans for all of your support. It has been really important as I’ve settled in England and the Premier League.
“Now I am only looking forward. I’m ready to do everything I can to help this club be as successful as possible.”
Director of Football Hugo Viana said: “We’ve been really pleased and impressed by Abdukodir’s development since he arrived in England.
“We’re seeing him grow into a brilliant young man and an outstanding defender – but we know this is only the beginning. His physical and technical abilities are top, he has all the assets needed to be a world-class centre-back.
“At just 22, his best years are all in front of him and his potential to get even better is clear for all to see.
“That’s why we’re so happy he has signed a new contract at City and hopefully he can be a big part of Enzo’s plans in the years to come.”
