Ajax completes transfer of Viktor Tsygankov

Overview

Ajax has officially completed the transfer of Ukrainian winger Viktor Tsygankov from Girona FC. The 28-year-old has signed a three-year contract that runs until mid-2029.

Final financial details indicate a fixed transfer fee of approximately 3.5 million euros, which could rise to 4.5 million euros including bonuses. This total is notably lower than Tsygankov’s estimated market value of 15 million euros. Under the agreement, Ajax will hold 90 percent of the player's transfer rights, while Girona retains 10 percent.

The move reunites Tsygankov with Ajax manager Míchel Sánchez, who previously coached him at Girona. Tsygankov, a versatile attacker capable of playing on both flanks or as a number 10, described the move as a ‘privilege’ despite noting that the preceding weeks had been difficult. The transfer follows a period of tension at Girona, including disciplinary issues and the player's refusal to participate in certain pre-season activities.

Following his arrival, Tsygankov has fully integrated into the squad and completed his first training sessions. Despite receiving his work permit and KNVB registration in record time, manager Míchel Sánchez has confirmed that the winger will not be included in the matchday squad for the upcoming away game against Telstar. The coaching staff intends to ‘introduce him gradually’ as a tactical choice to manage his integration into the team.
