Exclusive Leonino confirmed! St. Juste and Sporting saga enters new chapter | OneFootball

Exclusive Leonino confirmed! Jeremiah St. Juste is expected to leave Sporting in the January transfer window, as our newspaper had already reported. The Dutch defender has yet to play any minutes for either the A team or the B team just a month before the transfer window opens.

The information is being confirmed by the Transfer Diary, this Wednesday, December 3rd. Leonino knows that the green and white officials believe this is the best solution for both parties, at a time when they are committed to resolving the situation as quickly as possible.

This solution is seen as the lesser evil concerning the drama with Jeremiah St. Juste. The player, who entered the last year of his contract with Sporting in the summer of 2025, was supposed to be sold during that transfer window, or at least that was the most desired outcome at Alvalade.

However, the player reportedly rejected at least two offers to leave Alvalade - one from Osasuna and another from Union Berlin. He ended up staying at Sporting but was sidelined from the main squad due to the surplus of central defenders under Rui Borges' command. Demoted to the B team, the player has yet to play any minutes for the team led by João Gião.

Sporting already knows they will not receive any compensation for the player, but they are trying to minimize the damage and avoid paying another six months of salary to a player who is not part of the green and white structure. Therefore, they will try to agree on a termination, although the central defender's stance on the proposal, which should arrive soon, is currently unclear.
