Bought for €100,000 in Belarus a year and a half ago, Khusanov is now worth €12 million, according to Transfermarkt. At 20 years of age, it is clear that he has made a lot of progress with Lens, and a sale could bring them up to 30 million euros.
Now, with Manchester City a potential buyer, the windfall is even greater. According to Foot Mercato this Friday, the two clubs have reached an agreement worth €50 million to complete the transfer of Khusanov. A very handsome sum, which would have scared off the competition, with Tottenham and Newcastle interested at the start of the winter transfer window.
Khusanov at City, just a matter of time
Flashscore France can also confirm the Sky Blues' interest in the Lens player. According to their information, the English club have been in contact with the Sang et Or in recent hours.
The Citizens' offer is as follows: €40 million + €10 million in bonuses. The bonuses will be obtained by the northern club if City qualify for the Champions League and the player plays 65% of the C1 matches for the English team. According to our sources, this proposal will be accepted by the Lens management in the next few hours.
Khusanov has turned a corner with Lens this season. Will Still has made him one of his mainstays, and the player has been there from the start, driving up his market value. Although Manchester City were the quickest off the mark, other major European clubs, such as Real Madrid, had already spotted him.
There is no doubt that the centre-back will be interesting to watch in the Premier League with Pep Guardiola as coach.
