He has since moved on to Watford at the start of last year and his stock has risen considerably following his displays at the recently concluded 2026 World Cup. Naturally, clubs started taking notes and submitting bids, but Watford so far has ruled out any incoming offers (even Bayern doesn\u2019t have first dibs anymore):<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Watford have rejected two bids of around \u00a310m (\u20ac11.7) from Sporting CP and Celta Vigo for Nestory Irankunda. Both offers are well short of the English club\u2019s valuation. Bayern\u2019s sell-on clause has been reduced from 50% to 40%. After a renegotiation between the clubs, Watford bought back 10%. In addition, Bayern\u2019s buy-back clause has expired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u2013 Sky Sports\u2019 Anthony Joseph as captured by X account <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/2080039950804795712\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Then again, Bayern making a move for Irankunda now is probably unlikely at this point due to the club needing to move on other players first before signing anyone else. If the former Adelaide United winger is eventually sold, Bayern could still get a handsome fee from him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich employed Nestory Irankunda, who is a highly gifted player blessed with explosive pace and clinical finishing.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":781591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[71730,57079,403,99],"class_list":["post-781590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-front-office","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-and-rumors","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=781590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
