Cost Sporting €10m, but Rui Borges wants him out in January | OneFootball

At the start of the January transfer window, Sporting will once again try to sell Jeremiah St. Juste, reopening the door to discuss a possible departure of the Dutch center-back. After some time without prominence, Frederico Varandas and Rui Borges aim to find a solution that satisfies both the club and the player, who cost the Lions’ coffers 10 million euros.

The plan is to consider different transfer options for the 29-year-old defender, taking into account the fact that he is not in the coach’s plans this year and has been separated from the main squad, training apart at various times during the season (despite continuing to make headlines), which reinforces the urgency to resolve his situation.

The center-back, who is in the final year of his contract, has attracted interest from foreign clubs, but so far no deal has materialized, partly due to a combination of his high salary and lack of playing time, which has limited interest from potential buyers.

In the last summer transfer window, the player even turned down transfer offers, including from clubs such as Osasuna and Union Berlin, which further complicated negotiations and left his situation unresolved for this winter window.

In 2024/2025, Jeremiah St. Juste – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 matches for Sporting: 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.
