Sporting found no solutions for Matheus Reis and Jeremiah St. Juste in the summer transfer market. The Alvalade club had an intense day at the end of the transfer window but was unable to move two players who had been tipped to leave Alvalade in recent months.
Sporting had a very busy day at the close of the transfer market, being involved on several fronts, both to strengthen Rui Borges' squad, and to offload some surplus players, as was the case with Ricardo Esgaio, who headed to Turkey.
There were also some expectations regarding Matheus Reis and Jeremiah St. Juste: Sporting's intention was clear – and pointed towards the duo leaving the club this summer, especially since both players will see their contracts with the Lions expire at the end of the current season.
As for Jeremiah St. Juste, his departure was very close, both to Osasuna and to Union Berlin, but in the end, it was the player himself who refused the possibility of moving to Spain or Germany. Matheus Reis attracted some interest from Brazil, but Sporting was unable to reach an agreement with any club.
At the moment, both players have very little space in the Sporting squad, partly due to the tactical change imposed by Rui Borges, who has seen the team switch to playing with two center-backs instead of three, as was previously the case. It remains to be seen how the green and white coach will be able to make the best use of the duo, since both remain players for the Alvalade club.
