Watford has turned down two offers of around £10 million for Nestory Irankunda from Sporting CP and Celta Vigo. The Australian winger's stock has risen following his performances at the 2026 World Cup. Bayern Munich's buy-back clause for Irankunda has expired, meaning they no longer have a first right to reacquire him. Watford's current valuation of the player exceeds the bids submitted. Bayern may not pursue a move at this time due to roster considerations.
