Watford director warns Sporting over Irankunda: things change overnight | OneFootball

Nestory Irankunda is getting closer and closer to joining Sporting, but Watford continue to play their cards close to their chest regarding the winger’s future. Luke Dowling, the English club’s sporting director, addressed the negotiations and had high praise for the Alvalade side.

In comments quoted by the ‘Watford Observer’, the official assured that Scott Duxbury, the Hornets’ CEO, remains interested in keeping the Australian. “This week we have seen much more movement regarding Nestory himself. It is a transfer window and things change from one day to the next,” he said.

Dowling then went on to highlight the player’s possible destination: “If it is the club that has been reported, Sporting, it is a huge club that plays in Europe. We all know what they do with players in terms of transferring them on again. He is still training with us, and we will see what the next few days bring.”

Despite the Watford official’s words, the agreement between the clubs has already been sealed. Sporting’s SAD will pay a fixed €15 million, with a further €3 million possible in add-ons based on objectives, after the English club resolved the issue concerning the 40% of the player’s rights that belonged to Bayern Munich.
