Viktor Tsygankov, a 28-year-old Ukrainian winger, is now a new player for Ajax following the agreement reached with Girona this Thursday. The player has signed with the Dutch club until June 30, 2029, ending weeks of tension at Montilivi. 

The deal is around 4 million euros fixed plus 1 million in variables, in addition to a percentage for Girona in a future sale. This amount is far from the 30 million euros that were stated as the player's release clause.

Viktor Tsygankov reunites with Míchel at Ajax

This move allows Tsygankov to reunite with Míchel Sánchez, now the coach at Ajax, after having worked together during the coach's time at Girona. Their relationship was particularly significant in the 2023/24 season when the Catalan team finished third in LaLiga. 

During that season, Tsygankov played 30 league matches, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists, and was a key player for Míchel's team that qualified for the Champions League for the first time. 

The winger joined Girona in January 2023 from Dynamo Kyiv and played over 100 official matches with the Catalan club. Additionally, he has 67 caps for Ukraine.

Now, Ajax adds a player who is already familiar with Míchel's tactics. The Spanish coach will once again have Tsygankov at his disposal after the player's relationship with Girona deteriorated in recent weeks.

Girona closes the Tsygankov case after the conflict

The departure was expedited after an incident involving Tsygankov at the start of the season. Girona opened a disciplinary procedure against him following his refusal to play in the match against Leganés, claiming he was not fit to play.

The conflict led to Tsygankov being excluded from Girona's first two league matches. Simultaneously, his future became a top priority in the final stretch of the transfer window. 

The deal with Ajax also resolves an operation influenced by Girona's financial situation. The club now retains only 50% of the player's economic rights since his arrival from Dynamo Kyiv, meaning part of the transfer income goes to the Ukrainian club. 

For Ajax, the signing strengthens the flanks, which were weakened after Mika Godts' departure to PSG, with a 28-year-old player contracted until 2029. For Girona, it definitively closes Tsygankov's exit saga after a summer marked by his desire to leave Montilivi.

With the deal now official, Viktor Tsygankov begins a new chapter in the Netherlands and will once again work with Míchel at Ajax, while Girona will have to face the final stretch of the transfer window without one of their main attackers in recent seasons.
