Done deal: Nestory Irankunda is set to become a Sporting player. The green and whites reached an agreement with Watford for the transfer of the Australian winger for €18 million, with additional amounts potentially to be added depending on the achievement of certain objectives.
The information was reported by Fabrizio Romano, who gave the deal his usual “here we go”. The agreement between the two clubs is fully completed, and the player has also already given the definitive green light to the move to the José Alvalade Stadium.
The final obstacle concerned the percentage of a future sale held by Bayern Munich. The German club agreed with Watford on the details regarding the 40% it retained over a transfer of Nestory Irankunda.
With that issue resolved, the winger has reportedly already been authorized to travel to Lisbon, undergo medical examinations and sign a contract with Sporting. The Australia international had already reached an agreement with the Lions to remain tied to the Club until June 2031.
