Bayer Leverkusen are monitoring Watford's 20-year-old Australian winger Nestory Irankunda, and other clubs are also interested in him. Everton is one of the clubs interested in signing the forward in the summer, and Fiorentina and other Premier League teams are also monitoring him. It is claimed that Watford could seek approximately £17m for the player. A potential transfer is complicated by a buy-back clause and a 50% sell-on fee held by the Bundesliga side Bayern Munich. Irankunda joined Watford from Bayern München II in July 2025 for a fee reported to be €3 million. He has 13 caps and 5 goals for Australia, and his contract runs until 2030. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €6 million.
