Bayern Munich stands to gain financially from Nestory Irankunda’s transfer to Sporting CP. Thanks to a 40% sell-on clause, the Bundesliga giants will receive approximately €8.1 million from the deal, which values the move from Watford at around €19.7 million. Currently, Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry are sidelined due to injury.
What happened?
Nestory Irankunda is moving from Watford to Sporting CP for a fee of roughly €19.7 million.
