11-goal winger is Sporting's top target, Moretto warns: tough deal | OneFootball

Sporting appear to be preparing to launch a new bid for Yeremay Hernández, a player who has been identified for over a year as the preferred target to fill the left-wing spot in Rui Borges’ squad, but the latest developments are not encouraging for Alvalade.

Deportivo de La Coruña and the player himself are making the transfer difficult.

"Sporting have placed Yeremay Hernández at the very top of their list, but they are aware that this is a very complicated signing, not only because of the price, but also because of the player’s wishes. It is a complicated deal, but the Portuguese club want to try," it wrote.

This development comes two months after it was revealed that, in addition to the Lions, Benfica were also interested in signing the player who, at 23 years of age, is regarded by many as one of the brightest prospects in Spanish football.

Born in the Canary Islands, the Spain under-21 international came through the youth ranks at Las Palmas and Real Madrid before arriving at Deportivo in 2017, where he eventually reached the first team. Yeremay Hernández played a key role in the club’s return to La Liga in the 2025/26 season, recording 11 goals and 10 assists in 39 official matches.
