Sporting push for 'happy ending' to St. Juste split | OneFootball

Sporting still believes it can sell Jeremiah St. Juste to a peripheral market this week, Leonino has learned. Although it is not a likely outcome, the Alvalade club does not want the Dutch center-back to be ‘idle’ until January and understands that a departure at this moment could prevent the controversy from dragging on for a few more months.

Of the markets still open, Saudi Arabia (closes on September 10) and Turkey (closes on the 11th) would be potential destinations for the player, as they have the financial capacity to support his salary. According to our newspaper’s findings, the SAD, led by Frederico Varandas, believes that a farewell at this moment is the only viable solution for all parties involved.

Jeremiah St. Juste from Sporting was close to leaving during this transfer window, but no deal ended up happening. After interest from Osasuna and Mainz, the defender remained at Alvalade, but he is not in Rui Borges’ plans and was demoted to the B team.

The defender has not participated in any matches this season yet – although he was on the bench for the Super Cup, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Lions against Benfica, and was sent off from the substitutes’ bench – and his contract ends in June 2026.

In 2024/2025, St. Juste – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 games wearing the Sporting shirt: 14 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, and three in the League Cup. In total, the defender accumulated 1,385 minutes, without scoring or providing any assists.
