Bayern Munich's strong transfer summer continues. The German record champions are set to receive another financial boost with virtually no effort on their part.

The club had sold Nestory Irankunda to Watford a year ago. That transfer is now bearing significant fruit. The reason is a resale clause that Bayern negotiated at the time. This clause was reportedly worth 50 percent initially, with Watford recently buying down an additional 10 percent. The price for that adjustment remains unclear.

However, the English club had good reason for their move, as they apparently knew Irankunda would not stay. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Australian international's move is imminent. Sporting Lisbon has reportedly agreed with Watford on a transfer fee of around 18 million euros.

Bayern will reportedly receive 40 percent of this fee. The club spent around one million euros on Irankunda in 2024, then sold him to Watford a year later for triple that amount. Irankunda's record in Bayern's kit: 15 appearances for the reserve team and four goals.

In the end, Bayern has earned over nine million euros from a player within two years who never played a single competitive match for the record champions' professional squad. An absolute transfer masterstroke.

Consistent performer in the second tier

Irankunda caught attention in the past season in the English Championship with 40 appearances. He scored four goals for Watford and provided five assists. He started 22 times and came off the bench 18 times. However, his side finished only 16th in the table.

He then went on to the World Cup, where he scored in the group stage during the opening victory against Turkey. Now his journey continues in Portugal.
