The 22-year-old, who was part of Uzbekistan's squad at the World Cup, had a breakthrough campaign last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The defender has signed a new deal until 2031, with the option of another year. It replaces his existing contract, which was due to expire in 2029.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On signing his new contract, Khusanov said, \u201cThis is a great day for me and my family \u2013 I am really happy to extend my stay at City. I\u2019ve enjoyed every minute since I arrived in Manchester and I feel I am growing and learning a lot as a player.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI have a new challenge now, which is to impress 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\u2019ve settled in England and the Premier League. Now I am only looking forward. I\u2019m ready to do everything I can to help this Club be as successful as possible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Khusanov arrived at the Etihad Stadium from French club Lens in January 2025 and has enjoyed a stellar first 18 months in English football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Khusanov formed a solid centre-back partnership with Marc Guehi in the second half of the campaign, playing 16 of the last 19 Premier League games for the club as well as starring roles in both the successful FA Cup and League Cup finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been really pleased and impressed by Abdukodir\u2019s development since he arrived in England. We\u2019re 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,\" Man City's director of football Hugo Viana said in an official statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
