Sporting refuse to lose their heads over Irankunda, talks stall | OneFootball

Sporting remain interested in Nestory Irankunda, but negotiations with Watford are still far from being concluded. The green-and-whites want to strengthen the left side of the attack, although they are not willing to go beyond the financial limits set for the signing.

According to newspaper A Bola, Sporting’s board has put a €14 million offer on the table, to which add-ons could be added depending on objectives being met. The English club, however, continues to demand a total package of €20 million to release the Australian winger.

The gap between the two sides keeps the process open and promises to prolong talks. Irankunda, 20, continues to be seen by Sporting’s structure as an ideal profile to add pace, directness and one-on-one ability down the left flank.

Despite the desire to secure the Australian international, the board led by Frederico Varandas does not intend to lose its head. Sporting have already set the maximum threshold for this position and should only move towards an agreement if Watford agree to come closer to the figures offered by the Lions.

Flávio Gonçalves and Jesse Derry made a good impression during pre-season and convinced the coaching staff that they can offer immediate quality in the attacking department.
