€35m not enough for Sporting to land top summer target | OneFootball

Sporting initiated talks for the winger early in the transfer window, but after several attempts, they couldn't unlock the deal.

Deportivo La Coruña did not accept the amount proposed by Sporting to release Yeremay Hernández, which was reportedly between 30 and 35 million euros. It was the Spanish team's coach himself who revealed the information during a press conference previewing the club's next match.

"He is 22 years old, and we have to appreciate what he is doing and how he is handling his responsibilities. Not everyone would be able to reject offers of 30 or 35 million euros. The owner also had the courage not to listen to proposals," explained Antonio Hidalgo, Deportivo's coach. Remember that the sporting director had also commented on the situation.

The Spanish coach did not directly name Sporting, but the lions were indeed the most interested in Yeremay Hernández this summer. They reportedly tried to advance with very high values, which still wasn't enough to convince the Spanish club's management.

Antonio Hidalgo further elaborated on the winger: "We have to let Yere flow. He knows he has his freedom. I want to help him understand the game and where he can be more decisive. We must have a lot of affection and gratitude for having a player of this caliber. From there, we must be able to push him to the limit. He will bring us much joy."

Despite the lions having already offered a very high amount, which was rejected, the newspaper Record explains that the green and white management still does not want to give up on the deal, and is willing to try again with Deportivo La Coruña, a final attempt on the last day of the market.
