# Nestory Irankunda Sporting CP transfer finalised > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/nestory-irankunda-transfer-negotiations > Updated: 2026-08-07T05:28:06.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 5. In late July 2026 Sporting CP intensified talks to sign 20‑year‑old Australian winger Nestory Irankunda from Watford. Initial negotiations highlighted a €15 million valuation, with Watford rejecting a £10 million Hull City bid and emphasizing the player’s versatility after a debut season of four goals and five assists. By 23 July, Sporting’s bid was reported at €15‑20 million plus bonuses, while Watford turned down offers from both Sporting and Celta Vigo, insisting on a minimum price of about £12.55 million. The same day Bayern Munich’s buy‑back clause expired, and its sell‑on share was reduced to 40 percent after Watford repurchased a 10 percent stake. On 24 July Sporting submitted a €20 million offer (€15 million guaranteed plus €5 million in bonuses). Irankunda removed Watford references from his social media and awaited permission to travel to Lisbon for a medical, with the transfer expected to be completed within days. By 5 August the clubs reached an agreement for just over €18 million, including add‑ons, with €15 million paid upfront. Irankunda has accepted the move and is awaiting final paperwork, while Bayern’s future sell‑on clause remains in place. The deal will give Sporting a promising left‑winger for the Portuguese league and potential Champions League action, and provides Irankunda a platform to build on his World Cup breakthrough. Bayern Munich, which never fielded Irankunda at senior level, will earn roughly €7.2 million from its 40 percent sell‑on clause on the €18 million transfer. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: Nestroy Irankunda's Sporting Lisbon Transfer Nets Bayern About €7.2 million Nestroy Irankunda moves from Watford to Sporting Lisbon for €18 million; Bayern Munich’s 40 % sell‑on clause yields about €7.2 million despite the player never featuring for the first team. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nestroy-irankundas-sporting-lisbon-transfer-nets-bayern-about-72-million ### 2026-08-05: Nestory Irankunda moves to Sporting CP in €18m deal Watford have agreed to sell Australian winger Nestory Irankunda to Sporting CP for just over €18 million, with a €16 million bid and bonuses narrowing the gap to the €20 million asking price, despite a Bayern‑M 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nestory-irankunda-moves-to-sporting-cp-in-18m-deal ### 2026-07-24: Australian winger Nestory Irankunda set for €20 million move to Sporting CP Sporting CP have offered €20 million for Australian winger Nestory Irankunda, who is set to leave Watford after medicals, aiming to play in the Champions League. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/australian-winger-nestory-irankunda-set-for-20-million-move-to-sporting-cp ### 2026-07-23: Nestory Irankunda transfer saga: Sporting CP bid, Watford price tag and Bayern buyback clause ends Nestory Irankunda's future hangs as Sporting CP bids €15‑20 m, Watford rejects £10‑12 m offers, and Bayern's buy‑back clause expires. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nestory-irankunda-transfer-saga-sporting-cp-bid-watford-price-tag-and-bayern-buyback-clause-ends ### 2026-07-20: Sporting CP moves to sign Australian winger Nestory Irankunda Sporting CP are negotiating to sign Australian winger Nestory Irankunda from Watford for a fee around €15 million after his strong debut season and World Cup performance. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sporting-cp-moves-to-sign-australian-winger-nestory-irankunda --- Cite as: Nestory Irankunda Sporting CP transfer finalised.
