Real Madrid plans to loan Uzbekistan national team and Manchester City defender Abduqodir Husanov, according to Fichajes.

According to reports, due to a large number of injuries, the Madrid side wants to strengthen the defense line, but without significant financial expenses, Husanov, as noted, meets all the club’s requirements.

Real Madrid highly values Husanov’s physical strength, his reliable defensive play, and his experience despite his young age. The Madrid club believes the defender is capable of benefiting the team right now.

Transfer is also considered from a marketing perspective. Real Madrid is working to strengthen its position in the Asian market, and the arrival of the Uzbek footballer could further boost the club’s popularity in Central Asia.

Negotiations are in the initial stages, and Real Madrid’s interest has been positively received by the English side. The potential deal will depend on the loan terms and salary until the end of the season.
