Irankunda deal hits a snag called Bayern Munich, Sporting stunned | OneFootball

Sporting continue to closely monitor the situation of Nestory Irankunda, but a potential transfer still depends on a prior step by Watford. The English club are negotiating with Bayern Munich to buy back the 40% of a future sale that remained in the hands of the Germans.

When they signed the Australia international in 2025, Watford paid around €3 million to Bayern, allowing the Bavarians to retain a share of any future transfer. Now, according to 'O Jogo', before accepting any offer, the English side want to recover that percentage in order to increase their financial return from a possible sale of the player.

Although Watford would prefer to keep Irankunda in the squad, the winger continues to prioritise Sporting. The 20-year-old is said to have already turned down moves to Hull City, Lille and Club Brugge, while maintaining his desire to wear the green and white shirt.

Irankunda arrives with his stock raised after representing Australia at the 2026 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four matches. Last season, playing for Watford, he made 42 official appearances, recording four goals and four assists.
