The player is going through a difficult time at the Alvalade Club, but Frederico Varandas has already clarified the situation to Sporting's members.
Jeremiah St. Juste has already decided that he will wait for the winter transfer window to try to resolve his situation at Sporting. The Dutch central defender views a move to Germany favorably, but he will have to wait until early 2026, after failing to secure the transfer in the summer.
The information comes from the newspaper A Bola. After the transfer window closed without reaching an agreement to leave Sporting, St. Juste is in an uncomfortable situation at the Alvalade Club, having been demoted to the green and white B team, due to what Frederico Varandas explained as an excess of central defenders in Rui Borges' squad.
The Dutchman had some options in the market, namely Turkey, Saudi Arabia, or another Middle Eastern league, but he continues to refuse these options, preferring to keep training with Sporting's B team rather than moving to a league in which he has no interest. Likewise, no valid offers have reached the Lions after the European transfer window closed.
However, there is a possibility gaining strength, which would mean St. Juste would not finish the season at Sporting: a move to Germany as early as January. The central defender continues to have a market in the Bundesliga, as seen in the last summer transfer window, and he approves a move to this league he knows well from his days playing at Mainz.
Jeremiah St. Juste is going to become a father later this month, another factor for being reluctant to make a radical change in his life at this time, especially to scenarios he is completely unfamiliar with. In January, at a more stable time, the central defender might be willing to accept a proposal to leave Alvalade, even six months before becoming a free agent.
