Mannwan: Manchester City plans to keep Husanov, Rees will rent Girona out

Sports     9:49pm, 1 August 2025

The Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester City is expected to retain Husanov to compete in the new season and is reaching a loan agreement with Girona for Vittor Rez. The two defenders joined in January this year for a total transfer fee of £63 million, after the outside world generally questioned their position in Guardiola's new season plan. The

club signed these potential new stars in the future, focusing on their future becoming the core of the first team. But Husanov quickly gained opportunities due to the team's injury crisis, and despite his performance in the first five minutes of his career, the 21-year-old Uzbek international still turned the situation with amazing resilience. With his outstanding performance in the Premier League and his steady performance as a guest right-back at the Bernabeu, he was elected the club's Player of February. Guardiola particularly appreciates his professional attitude, including his minimalist style of traveling away games in the early stages without a toilet bag.

However, at the end of the season, the first Uzbek player in Premier League history gradually lost playing time. The substitution of the midfield against Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals indicates the team's subsequent tactical adjustment direction. In four games in the Club World Cup in the summer, he only got 60 minutes of the chance to play.

Reis gained more opportunities in comparison, and Nuri's joining further increased the possibility of Gvadior as a central defender. Previously, there was news that Manchester City tended to retain Rees, which made Husanov possible for loans and the club needed to cut non-local players to meet the Champions League registration requirements. Except for Gvadior, Ruben Dias, Stones, Ak and Akanji are still in the team, but Husanov is determined to continue to compete for the main position in Etihad.

At the same time, internal negotiations between City Football Group are close to reaching an agreement to loan Girona to Rez. The two clubs have maintained mutually beneficial cooperation for a long time, and Savigno’s debut in the Premier League after shining in La Liga last season is a successful example. Due to the loan ban between the two teams participating in the Champions League last season, the restrictions have been lifted as Girona misses this Champions League.

In addition, Echeviri and Nipan have received loan invitations from multiple clubs, and as Manchester City continues to streamline the roster, there may be more players out of the loan.
