Bombshell on Yeremay! He wanted Sporting, but Varandas snubbed him | OneFootball

Yeremay Hernández reappeared on Sporting's radar in the last summer transfer window. The Deportivo player asked his representatives to find out whether there was still an opening at Alvalade. The Lions’ response, however, was negative, since the SAD, led by Frederico Varandas, had already finalized the squad for 2026/27.

The winger was one of the Leonine club’s top targets in 2025. However, for this transfer window, the Galicians’ demands rose to figures between 50 and 60 million euros, while Yeremay, through his representatives, is also said to have set the salary bar too high for the financial reality of the green-and-whites.

As the weeks went by, the situation began to change. Despite the various rumors linking him with some of Europe’s top clubs, none of those possibilities materialized. Faced with the prospect of spending another season at Deportivo, Yeremay then reportedly tried to reopen the possibility of moving to Sporting, showing willingness to lower his demands, according to the newspaper 'Record'.

The Lions, however, had already moved forward with building the squad and did not reopen the process. Besides the financial side, there was another factor weighing on the club’s decision: the player’s physical condition. Yeremay ended last season with a pubalgia issue, a situation that also reportedly caused some reservations within the club structure.
