Bayern Munich retains buyback option for Watford’s Nestory Irankunda

Nestory Irankunda scored for Australia in their FIFA World Cup match against Türkiye on June 13, 2026. The 20-year-old winger has performed well since his transfer to Watford from Bayern Munich in 2025, a decision aimed at securing more first-team opportunities. Bayern reportedly holds a buyback clause worth €4.5-€5 million, and a significant sell-on percentage, maintaining a financial interest in Irankunda's development. His recent World Cup performance has sparked discussion about whether Bayern might exercise the buyback option in the future.
