Girona star emerges as affordable attacking target for Barcelona | OneFootball

FC Barcelona seem intent to strengthen their team as much as they can in this summer transfer window, as they would once again be looking to get the UEFA Champions League back to the club next season. This is clear from the €80 million they have already paid for Anthony Gordon, while they are also ready to make another massive outlay for Julian Alvarez.

If completed, these two operations would take up most of the budget the Blaugrana club has set for new additions in this transfer window. However, to further complement their attack, they can look for some low-cost options from the market as well.

In this regard, SPORT notes that the Girona forward Viktor Tsygankov is emerging as a particularly attractive option for Barcelona. The Ukrainian has already communicated to Girona his desire to leave the club to embark on another professional adventure, and already has a pact with the Catalan side to leave with a letter of freedom.

Meanwhile, there are also very good relations between Girona and Barcelona, which could facilitate any negotiations for the player. The recently relegated side is looking to get several young talents from the Blaugrana club as they would be fighting to make their way back to La Liga from the second division next season.

Furthermore, Tsygankov’s current wages are significantly low from most of the bigger names in European football, which also makes him a highly suitable player for the Azulgrana. His experience of playing in La Liga means he would also not have to spend a lot of time adapting to a changed scenario with Barcelona.

Lastly, his versatility would be another attraction for the Blaugranes, as he can play on both the wings, as a playmaker, and also as a center-forward. For now, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona would actually make a move for him, but there is no doubt that Viktor Tsygankov would be an interesting low-cost option for Barcelona.
