According to Spanish newspaper AS, Tsygankov submitted a formal letter expressing his desire to depart.
“Mijn sportieve toekomst is niet te spiegelen met het huidige project bij deze club,” the winger stated in his letter.
He seeks an amicable separation as he looks to move away from the second tier of Spanish football.

Cruijff has focused on recruiting from Spain since taking his role at Ajax in February.
