Nestory Irankunda is still waiting for the negotiations between Sporting and Watford to be finalised, but he has been dropping a few hints about his desire to embrace a new project. The Australian winger posted an enigmatic message on social media at a time when he is getting ever closer to Alvalade.

According to Record, the talks are at an advanced stage, although the English club is still trying to resolve an issue related to the percentage of a future sale owed to Bayern Munich. Once that hurdle is cleared, the deal should move forward.

On his Instagram stories, Irankunda shared Michael Jackson’s song ‘A Place With No Name’, whose theme revolves around the search for a better place, marked by love and happiness. The choice drew attention because of the player’s current situation.

The post may simply reflect a musical preference, but it comes at a time when the 20-year-old forward has already given the green light to the move to Sporting. The contractual terms between the player and the Lions’ officials have already been agreed.

In the 2025/26 season, his debut campaign for Watford, Nestory Irankunda - valued at €10 million - made a total of 42 appearances. In the 2,211 minutes he spent on the pitch, the winger, who is under contract until 2030, scored four goals and provided four assists.
