Nestory Irankunda

In August 2026, reports indicate Watford is demanding a €20 million fixed fee for the player, while Sporting CP's offer approaches €15 million. Throughout July 2026, Sporting's offer was consistently reported as €14-15 million plus bonuses up to €5 million. During the same period, Watford's asking price was repeatedly cited as €20 million, with some reports suggesting a total package could reach €22 million with add-ons, and outlier reports mentioning a valuation as high as €30 million. Earlier in July 2026, Watford reportedly rejected multiple bids of around £10 million (approx. €11.8 million) from Hull City, Celta Vigo, and an initial offer from Sporting. A report from May 2026 suggested Watford could seek around £17 million (approx. €20 million). He previously transferred from Bayern München II to Watford in July 2025 for a reported €3 million.

Our valuation is driven by the well-documented and ongoing negotiations between Watford and Sporting CP. Multiple reports establish a clear floor, with bids around €10-12 million from several clubs being consistently rejected. The current negotiation for Nestory Irankunda sees Sporting offering a package based on a €15 million fee, while Watford holds firm on a €20 million valuation. The final price is expected to be a compromise between these two figures.
