Transfermarkt puts Man City’s Khusanov on top of post-Soviet Premier League values
Abdukodir Khusanov leads the Premier League’s players from former Soviet republics by estimated market value, with Transfermarkt valuing him at €50 million in its October update.
The Man City centre-back’s valuation rose by €15 million from €35 million — an increase of almost 43%. The figure puts the 22-year-old €18 million ahead of his nearest challenger in the regional ranking. Transfermarkt’s profile dated the previous assessment to June 3, 2026.
Ukraine midfielder Yehor Yarmoliuk of Brentford ranked second at €32 million, followed by Liverpool’s Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili at €28 million, according to Kursiv’s coverage of the update. The comparison covers players in England’s top division, rather than footballers from those countries worldwide.
