Dynamo Kyiv can make a lot of money on Viktor Tsygankov. In early 2023, Kyiv received €5 million for the transfer of the Ukrainian national team player. This small amount was due to the fact that the player had six months left on his contract with Dynamo. However, the Ukrainian club retained 50 per cent of the subsequent transfer.
Viktor TsygankovTsygankov had a great start in La Liga. Almost immediately he became one of the leaders of Girona. He scored and assisted. The best part was that for almost six months there were no injuries, not even a single one. Tsygankov almost always played 90 minutes for his new club.
In the summer, there was not even any talk of the Ukrainian transferring to a stronger club. There was information about Wolverhampton. But they play with three central defenders. In fact, Tsygankov has never played in this formation. If there was interest, it was not very specific.
The new season has not been so successful for Tsygankov so far. Not all matches are successful. The Ukrainian has competition in the person of Christian Portugues. They started changing him earlier. The Brazilian Savio looks very good on the left flank. The Brazilian is younger than the Ukrainian and looks stronger individually. Viktor could not withstand the load - the national team, the club and got a muscle injury.
When everything was fine, no one was particularly interested in Tsygankov. When he started to have some problems, the top clubs in the world started to take an interest in Viktor. It doesn't look very logical.
16-year-old Lamil Yamal plays on the right wing for Barcelona. The match against Shakhtar showed this boy's potential. There is Rafinha and Ferran Torres can play here. In the centre of the pitch are Gabi, Gavi, Fermin Lopez. Plus, our own school is very healthy. I don't really remember when Bayern were looking for reinforcements in Spain? Especially not from the top clubs and among players who are over 25. The last time Bayern bought players from Spain was during Pep Guardiola's tenure. That was quite a while ago. The Bundesliga is a powerhouse championship. Bayern have enough people on the wings. They are more focused on finding strength in the German championship. The philosophy of weakening competitors has been working for years. Now they are selling Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer itself could be in the region of 100 million euros. The only arguments are the semi-exhibition match against Germany in June, when Viktor showed himself perfectly.
It all looks like Tsygankov is being actively "sold". They are launching a media campaign to draw attention to the player and promote him. The style is very similar to that of Andriy Lunin. Only the top teams were interested. It looks like they are planning to transfer Tsygankov in the summer. Therefore, the media component should be very active. "Girona took a player for resale. They need to take other players to make money.
