Benassi sends Palmeiro message on Sporting target: hard to leave | OneFootball

Yeremay is a possible option to play for Sporting, but Deportivo are maintaining a firm stance regarding the future of the Spanish winger. The club’s CEO, Massimo Benassi made it clear that the player’s departure will not be a simple process for interested parties, namely Bernardo Palmeiro.

“I don’t think it will be that easy for him to leave,” at a time when the player remains one of the team’s main figures. The confidence of the Galician officials is also based on the club’s current financial situation. Deportivo are no longer forced to sell players to balance the books and, therefore, can manage the market with greater peace of mind.

In addition, the executive highlighted Yeremay’s importance to the sporting project, describing him as “a fundamental player” and “a symbol of our academy”, he told the newspaper 'Record'. The CEO also confirmed that Sporting tried to sign the winger in the past. During the previous summer, the Lions submitted an offer in the region of €40 million, a figure that was ultimately rejected by the Spanish board.

There were further contacts in January, but “it was not the right time for us to let go, not only of Yeremay but of all the players.” Despite the growing interest surrounding the player, the executive revealed that no formal offer has yet arrived in this summer market.
