"This squad is full of the best players in the world, and I can't wait to meet them and play alongside them," said Khusanov. "And of course Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest coaches ever and I am so excited to learn from him and improve my game even more."
Txiki Begiristain, City's director of football, said Khusanov is already "very intelligent, as well as being strong, aggressive and extremely quick". This shows that Manchester City believe in Khusanov's potential and capabilities to contribute effectively to their squad.
The signing of Khusanov for 33.6 million plus add-ons highlights Manchester City's strategy of investing in young talent with upside potential, especially given his rapid development.
The transfer occurs as Guardiola seeks to strengthen his squad after a challenging period, underscoring the urgency to improve performance in the Premier League and Champions League.
