Tsygankov's decision not to participate in any pre-season matches has put him at the centre of the uncertainty surrounding the club. Despite being included in the squad for the opening match against Leganés, the player's actions have left a sour taste in the mouths of his teammates. Quique Álvarez has publicly addressed the situation, stating that Tsygankov's refusal to train with the team has left him in a difficult position.
The club's stance on retaining as many players as possible from last season's Segunda team has been put to the test, with several players expressing their desire to leave. Tsygankov's case is particularly complicated, given the club's valuation of him at 10 million euros. Marca La Liga reports that the player's future will be decided in the coming weeks, as the transfer window draws to a close.
Other players, such as Arnau Martínez, who has an agreement with Valencia, and Alex Moreno, who is being pursued by Rayo Vallecano, are also facing uncertain futures. Iván Martín has received offers from Primera, while Ounahi is set to join Ajax. Junior had muscle cramps during a match, and Vanat suffered an injury in a domestic accident, which has left him on the sidelines. Van de Beek's contract is being terminated.
