Exclusive Leonino - St. Juste set for Sporting future update soon | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas will soon try again to reach an agreement for the termination of Jeremiah St. Juste's contract. The Dutch central defender is not having an easy time at the Alvalade Club, after being part of the group last season that helped Sporting win the championship and the double.

Our newspaper reports, in this Exclusive Leonino, that Sporting remains committed to resolving the situation of the Netherlands player as quickly as possible. Thus, the most likely scenario is that Frederico Varandas will soon make a new attempt to terminate the contract with St. Juste - who has been in the spotlight recently.

This solution is seen as the lesser evil in relation to 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 refused at least two offers to leave Alvalade - one from Osasuna and another from Union Berlin. He ended up staying at Sporting but was removed from the main squad due to the excess of central defenders under Rui Borges' command. Demoted to the B team, the player has not yet played any minutes under João Gião's guidance.

Sporting already knows it will not receive any compensation for the player but is 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 the termination, and at this moment, the central defender's position regarding the proposal that should arrive soon is unclear.
