Amid growing rumors of a possible move for Viktor Tsygankov from Spanish side Girona to Dutch club Ajax, the press conference of the Ukrainian winger's agent was unexpectedly cancelled. The scheduled briefing, at which the player's representative was to officially clarify the current situation regarding his future at the Spanish club, fell through at the last minute. This is reported by Sport RBC.UA, citing posts by journalists Alex Luna and Nuria Vilamala on the social network X (Twitter).
According to Sport RBC.UA, the decision to cancel the event was made literally in the final hours. As journalist Alex Luna notes, this pause was directly influenced by active phone negotiations that had been taking place over the preceding hours. In other words, the format of a public briefing became irrelevant, as the process of resolving the situation had moved into a stage of direct contact between the parties.
Request from the Amsterdam giant
Nuria Vilamala, a journalist on the Què T'hi Jugues program, points to a more specific reason for the pause: an official request from Ajax had reached Girona. According to her information, the Amsterdam club is considering the possibility of completing the transfer of the Ukrainian winger before the summer transfer window closes. Thus, the cancellation of the briefing is interpreted as a consequence of the negotiations having reached a practical phase, making public discussion of the details premature.
Contract details and market value
Last season, the 28-year-old Viktor Tsygankov made 34 appearances for Girona across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. The winger's current contract with the Spanish club runs until the summer of 2027, and his market value is estimated at 15 million euros. It is precisely these parameters that make the potential deal a subject of active negotiations in the final days of the transfer window.
Contradictory information
It is important to emphasize that sources disagree on the current stage of the transfer. The basic Sport RBC.UA report stresses that Ajax is merely considering the possibility of a move, that the official request has only just been received, and that the final decision on a move to the Netherlands rests directly with Tsygankov himself. At the same time, a number of other publications describe the situation as significantly more advanced: the outlet ua-football.com reports that Tsygankov is "completing the transfer" and is already "heading to Michel's side," while zn.ua writes that Girona has allegedly already agreed to sell the Ukrainian and that he will move to a "trophy-laden club." Thus, one version records an initial stage (request and negotiations), while the other describes the finalization of the deal. Until an official confirmation emerges from the clubs or the player himself, both viewpoints remain valid, and readers should treat claims of a "completed" transfer with caution.
Context: conflict with Girona
Negotiations over Tsygankov's future are taking place against a tense backdrop: it was previously reported that Girona had opened a case against its winger. This factor likely strengthens both sides' motivation to resolve the transfer issue in the coming days, while the summer transfer window remains open. The final decision, however, according to available information, is reserved for the player himself.
