Fresh rumours suggest Sporting and St. Juste saga could finally be over | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste may soon cease to be an unresolved issue at Sporting. The central defender, sidelined from the team since last summer, is highly likely to leave the Club during this transfer window. After rejecting a move at the start of the season, following contacts with clubs from Spain and Germany, the Dutch player has been training separately from the squad at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy while a solution for his future is sought.

With a contract valid only until the end of the current season and a gross annual salary of around 3.2 million euros, St. Juste has once again sparked interest in the market, reports the newspaper A Bola. Currently, there are approaches from Spain—where Valencia has noted him as an alternative, although behind Justin de Haas from Famalicão—as well as contacts from other European leagues regarding the 29-year-old defender.

Signed from Mainz in 2022/23 for about 10 million euros, St. Juste's journey at Alvalade was mainly hampered by successive physical problems, which kept him out of competition on several occasions. While at Sporting, the defender played 80 official matches and scored two goals.

At the start of the season, Sporting's management tried to facilitate his transfer to recover part of the investment made, but the player's refusal to leave ultimately led to his exclusion from defensive options. Despite the high number of injuries in the squad throughout the season, his return to the main team was never considered.

At a time when the player has maintained some presence on social media, where he shares images of individual training. Everything indicates that the connection between Sporting and Jeremiah St. Juste is nearing its end.
