Sporting is experiencing a rather uncomfortable situation with Jeremiah St. Juste, who refused to leave the lions this summer

Al Ettifaq is interested in signing Jeremiah St. Juste. Sporting is having an uncomfortable time with the Dutch central defender, who refused to leave Alvalade this summer, even after having two offers on the table, and for that reason was placed to train with the green and white B team.

The situation may, however, be closer to being resolved. Despite the transfer window having closed in Portugal, it remains open in other countries, such as Saudi Arabia. Al Ettifaq, a club that plays in Cristiano Ronaldo's league, is interested in the central defender and could resolve the awkward situation that has arisen in Alvalade.

The information is advanced by the newspaper O Jogo. As described, Al Ettifaq has not yet presented a formal proposal to Sporting, but has already established informal contacts with the agents, and brothers, of Jeremiah St. Juste, to understand the availability of a move to Saudi Arabia.

This solution would be an optimal resolution for all three parties: Al Ettifaq is looking for an experienced central defender to strengthen the defensive axis, hence they have identified St. Juste. The Sporting, in turn, is looking to 'get rid of' the three million annual earnings by the Dutchman. And the player could return to competition, as he is away from the main green and white team's work.

However, the newspaper O Jogo explains that this solution does not go according to the desires and expectations of Jeremiah St. Juste, who would be interested in a more competitive league. The central defender will have to act quickly, as most markets are about to close, and the move to Saudi Arabia may be the only possible scenario very soon.
