Ajax close to agreement over Tsygankov
Ajax is close to agreeing a transfer deal for forward Viktor Tsygankov, a 28-year-old Ukrainian player known to coach Míchel.
The transfer would reportedly cost a relatively low amount, with Spanish media suggesting a fee of five million euros. Ajax hopes to sign Tsygankov for a low fee, but also the relegation of Girona and the strained relationship between him and the club play a role in the negotiations.
Ajax and Girona are far in the negotiations over Tsygankov. In the most favorable case, he can already travel to Amsterdam on Monday for the final details and the medical check-up.
Why it matters for Ajax
With Tsygankov, Míchel would have his desired right winger. For that position, he also has Maher Carrizo and Steven Berghuis at his disposal.
What comes next?
Tsygankov played 119 games for Girona. In those games, he scored 20 goals and provided 23 assists.
