Sporting target named captain, move to Alvalade now less likely | OneFootball

Antonio Hidalgo announced that he decided to integrate the Sporting target into the group of footballers who wear the armband

Yeremay Hernández continues to be a difficult target, despite the strong interest from Sporting. The 22-year-old was promoted to the Deportivo captains' group, a emblem of the Spanish second division. This decision is seen as an attempt by the neighboring country's club to convince the athlete to stay in Corunha.

In addition to having rejected all approaches from the lions and the proposal of 25 million euros plus five in objectives, now coach Antonio Hidalgo announced that he decided to integrate the player into the group of footballers who wear the armband, in addition to four other colleagues.

"The four team captains are decided by the group. They are: Villares, Escudero, José Ángel and Ximo. And Yeremay will also be among them. It's a bit of continuity in the club. Yeremay has to take a step forward and this is the moment. He's been here for a long time and knows the club and the fans very well. He has that sense of belonging," said the coach, in a press conference.

The administration of the green and white emblem still maintains the hope of being able to sign the Spanish Under-21 international and maintains contact with the top brass of Depor, owner and president Juan Escotet and delegate advisor Massimo Benassi. Recently, Deportivo left a provocation to the lions.

It's worth remembering that the 22-year-old winger from the neighboring country comes from an official season where he scored 15 goals and five assists in 39 games played in the Spanish second division. This season, he has already played one official game for the Corunha team.
