Ajax’s six‑million swoop on Viktor Tsygankov exceeds earlier reports

In a rapid development, Ajax have moved to sign Ukrainian winger Viktor Tsygankov from Girona, with the Dutch club reportedly agreeing to pay up to €6 million – a figure slightly above the €5 million previously cited – and offering a four‑year contract in Amsterdam.

Source reports and fee details

The news was first confirmed by Algemeen Dagblad, following reporting by the Spaanse AS. Both outlets note that the transfer is now virtually completed.

According to the reports, the price and the length of the contract differ from earlier information that had circulated.

The Oekraïner had long expressed a desire to leave Girona and refused to feature in the club’s first competitive match. After he leaked Whatsappgesprekken with the club, Girona launched a disciplinary procedure.

The six‑million fee will be split, with half destined for his former side Dinamo Kyiv, and the player is set to sign a four‑year deal in Amsterdam.
