Michel takes 3 players from Girona to Ajax

Michel Sánchez already has his first major mission at Ajax. The Madrid-born coach is preparing a revolution with old acquaintances from Girona.

The relegation of the Catalan team has opened an unexpected window in the market. Several important players could leave for less than their real value.

Michel Sánchez activates the Girona route to reinforce Ajax

Michel lands at Ajax with a very clear idea. He wants players who understand his way of competing from day one. The Dutch club needs to regain identity, rhythm, and authority. Therefore, the sports management values surrounding the coach with already familiar pieces.

Girona, reeling from relegation, has become an ideal scenario. The need to settle scores could facilitate several departures. This is where three specific names come up: Daley Blind, Donny Van de Beek, and Viktor Tsygankov. All fit into Ajax's new plan.

Michel Sánchez knows what each one can offer. He is not looking for unknown bets but for players ready to accelerate their adaptation in Amsterdam. Daley Blind's case seems the most natural. The defender knows the club perfectly and maintains a clear bond with Dutch football.

Daley Blind and Donny Van de Beek, two manageable operations

Daley Blind would be a low-risk addition for Ajax. Experience, leadership, and clean build-up play from the back are still his main assets. Michel Sánchez especially values his tactical reading. In a league like the Eredivisie, his composure can organize many game situations.

Besides, Daley Blind would not require a disproportionate investment. His contractual situation and Girona's new reality favor a quick negotiation. A similar situation applies to Donny Van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder needs continuity, confidence, and an environment where he can feel important again.

Ajax represents an emotional and sporting opportunity for Donny Van de Beek. He flourished as a footballer there before embarking on an irregular spell elsewhere. Michel Sánchez could give him a significant role in the midfield. His arrival would bring goals, work rate, and club knowledge.

Viktor Tsygankov, the most expensive wish of the new project

The main economic obstacle is Viktor Tsygankov. The Ukrainian winger maintains international recognition, and his valuation hovers around 15 million euros. For Ajax, this figure requires consideration. It is not a small amount, although the attacker's profile fits the club's offensive tradition.

Viktor Tsygankov offers flair, finishing, and the ability to play centrally. These are qualities highly appreciated by Michel Sánchez in his wingers. Girona knows he is one of their most valuable assets. Therefore, even though relegation looms, Tsygankov will not be given away.

The key will lie in market pressure. If the player desires to leave, Ajax may find a more favorable path.

Ajax aims to rebuild with Michel Sánchez's stamp

Ajax needs a smart summer. Just signing names is not enough; they must build a recognizable, competitive team connected with their coach. Michel Sánchez arrives with a well-defined reputation. His Girona played with courage, long possessions, and a clear offensive vocation.

This idea fits the Ajax culture. The challenge will be to quickly translate it to a squad that needs immediate results. Daley Blind would bring leadership from the outset. Donny Van de Beek would add identity, while Viktor Tsygankov would enhance the attacking level.

The multitasking operation will not be easy. Girona wants to sell well, and Ajax will try to take advantage of the Catalan club's urgency. All signs point to an intense market between Montilivi and Amsterdam. Michel Sánchez wants to start strong, and his first major plan is directly aimed at Girona.
