Viktor Tsygankov created tension at Girona by refusing to wear the team kit for the opening match against Leganes despite being named in the squad list. The 29-year-old Ukrainian winger previously asked for his freedom letter at the start of the summer and did not feature in any pre-season fixtures.
Management values the player at 10 million euros while he remains under contract until 2027 and resists playing in LaLiga Hypermotion. Following his refusal to take the field, he chose to watch the encounter from the stadium's private box.
Head coach responses confirmed that the player was included in the technical selection but simply declined to change clothes. This latest episode underscores the deep rift between the athlete and the Catalan club management as the transfer window progresses.
Further developments are anticipated regarding whether a resolution can be reached or if the forward will continue his standoff.
