Sporting had to compromise, but got Irankunda over the line | OneFootball

Sporting are very close to securing the signing of Nestory Irankunda. After several weeks of back and forth, the club’s SAD has reached common ground with Watford over the transfer fee for the Australian winger.

According to newspaper A Bola, both sides made concessions to bring their positions closer. The green-and-whites kept their limit at a fixed €15 million, to which add-ons could be added to take the deal to a figure close to €20 million.

Everything between Nestory Irankunda and Sporting has been agreed for some time. The Australian player, just 20 years old, has already given the green light to the move to Alvalade and is waiting for a contract valid for five seasons, until June 2031.

Even so, the official announcement still depends on an agreement between Watford and Bayern Munich. The German club retained 40% of a future sale when they transferred the Australia international to England for €4 million, a percentage the Hornets are now trying to reduce in order to increase their own profit.

The expectation is that an agreement will be reached soon, as Sporting do not want to drag out the process. Once the final obstacle is overcome, Irankunda will travel to Lisbon, undergo medical tests and sign for the Lions, after which he will be at Rui Borges’ disposal.
