The WhatsApp message, sent to Tsygankov as part of the club's WhatsApp group, stated that any public communication, interview, or interaction with the media must be authorised by the club's press attaché. The message also warned that any player breaching this rule would face disciplinary sanctions. Tsygankov, who has 67 caps for Ukraine, responded with a cryptic post on Instagram, featuring a hand in front of a mouth, accompanied by the phrase "Un jour, je parlerai..." (One day, I will speak...).
Tsygankov's actions have led to a disciplinary procedure being opened against him by FC Gérone. The club has expressed a desire to retain the 28-year-old winger, whose contract expires next summer. However, Tsygankov has been linked to Celta Vigo and has refused to play for FC Gérone. This has led to speculation about his future at the club. Tsygankov is facing disciplinary sanctions from FC Gérone, and the outcome of the disciplinary procedure will determine the severity of the punishment.
