Decision made! Sporting lose patience and rule out Yeremay signing | OneFootball

Sporting have definitively given up on signing Yeremay Hernández. After some back-and-forth in the Lions’ interest in the Deportivo winger, recent rumors emerged about renewed talks with the player, his agents, and the Spanish club itself, but they ultimately led nowhere.

According to the newspaper Record, following fresh talks with no progress, the green-and-white SAD decided to drop this file, which had been one of the Lions’ main targets since the summer 2025 transfer window.

Now, Sporting’s focus is entirely on Nestory Irankunda, who is currently at Watford. The Australian international caught the attention of Sporting’s hierarchy for being a more affordable target, both in terms of a possible transfer fee and wages.

For now, according to the same source, only a major market twist would lead Sporting to set their sights on Yeremay Hernández again. The Lions do not intend to continue this saga and want to secure the signing of another attacking option as soon as possible.

In the 2025/26 season, the 23-year-old winger was one of the team’s standout players, making 39 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists, numbers that attracted the interest of Sporting and other clubs keeping a close eye on his performances.
