Sporting Lisbon has made an offer of €15 million plus €5 million in bonuses for Watford striker Irankunda, but the Portuguese club is unwilling to increase the bid to meet Watford's €20 million asking price. As a result, the transfer negotiations have been postponed for a week. The article, published by Record Portugal on July 30, 2026, reports that Sporting officials have drawn a line at their current offer and are not raising the stakes for the forward. The delay suggests a standoff between the two clubs over the valuation of the player.
