St. Juste deal U-turn leaves Sporting in despair | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste has had little playing time under Rui Borges at Sporting so far this season.

Jeremiah St. Juste reportedly rejected an offer from Union Berlin, the German club that came very close to signing the Dutch central defender. The player has not been given many minutes by Rui Borges this season, but the deal that could have taken him away from Sporting fell through, and the Lions currently have no other options in sight.

Sporting had everything agreed with Union Berlin for the player to leave the club for a fee of around two million euros, however, the contract offer from the Germans was reportedly rejected by St. Juste. The saga of the central defender thus continues, at least for a few more hours.

It should be remembered that St. Juste had already rejected an offer from Osasuna a few days ago, after Sporting had reached an agreement with the Spanish club. The Dutch defender disagreed with the short duration of the contract that was offered, and there were also issues with a tax deduction matter, which caused the deal to collapse.

Union Berlin followed, with whom, once again, Sporting reached an agreement. The Germans, in turn, offered a three-year contract to St. Juste, longer than what was offered by Osasuna, but it still remained insufficient to convince the green and white player to leave Alvalade.

On the last day of the transfer window, unless there is a surprise operation, St. Juste is expected to stay at Sporting. The Alvalade club is left with an unresolved issue, as the Dutchman is fifth in the defensive hierarchy, but also receives the highest salary, so the Lions will still try, before the transfer window closes, to place the player.
