  "account": "Ajax, the Dutch club boasting 36 Serie A titles and four European Cup/Champions League victories, is reportedly eyeing Girona and Ukraine forward Vladyslav Vanat as their top transfer target, according to a July 31 report from Todomercadoweb. The 24-year-old midfielder, sidelined due to injury, hasn't appeared in Girona's last matches of the season. Michel, Ajax's new head coach, who previously led Girona, is keen on signing Vanat during the ongoing summer transfer window, aiming to secure his transfer promptly to thwart other clubs' attempts.\n\nVanat made his mark in Spain during his first season with Girona, netting nine goals in 27 La Liga outings and adding a goal in the Copa del Rey. He arrived at Girona from Dynamo Kyiv via the summer 2025 transfer window. Three other Ukrainian players, winger Viktor Tsyhankov, goalkeeper Vladyslav Krapyvtsov, and forward Oleksandr Pyshchur, are also on Girona's roster. Tsyhankov has reportedly expressed his desire to depart Girona post the team's relegation to La Liga 2.",
