Viktor Tsygankov has fallen out of favour with Girona after refusing to play last weekend and sharing WhatsApp conversations on his Instagram story. The 28-year-old had already stated he saw no future at the relegated club. In June 2026, he wrote an open letter stating he no longer wanted to wear Girona's shirt.
Girona's trainer, Quique Álvarez, had previously claimed Tsygankov was fit but unwilling to change. The club has now released a statement announcing the start of disciplinary proceedings against Tsygankov. They believe his actions may breach contractual obligations and fail to meet the club's behavioural standards.
Girona will defend their rights and interests and take necessary measures during this procedure. The club will refrain from making further public statements on the matter.
