Sporting set Irankunda deadline, but he's not the only one | OneFootball

Sporting’s squad is not yet complete and is expected to receive two more signings during the summer transfer window. The SAD led by Frederico Varandas intends to secure Nestory Irankunda and a left-back to provide Rui Borges with new options.

The aim of the Sporting officials is to complete both deals before the second round of the league. The green and whites host Vitória de Guimarães on Friday, August 14, at 8:15 pm, at the José Alvalade Stadium.

Irankunda’s deal is the one that is currently at the most advanced stage. Sporting and Watford are close to reaching an agreement for a total package worth €20 million, but the completion of the deal still depends on negotiations between the English club and Bayern Munich.

The Bavarians retained the right to 40% of a future transfer of the Australian winger. Once that issue is resolved, Irankunda is expected to be cleared to travel to Lisbon, undergo the usual medical examinations, and sign for the Lions.

For the left side of the defence, Sporting is looking for an alternative to Maxi Araújo who can also establish himself as a starter in the long term. The club’s structure wants to speed up the process and fill the final two gaps in the squad before hosting Vitória de Guimarães.
