Portuguese scuppers St. Juste’s plans, centre-back to stay at Sporting | OneFootball

The transfer of Jeremiah St. Juste to Union Berlin has become more complicated, and the main reason is Diogo Leite. The Dutch center-back is one of several issues the Sporting management needs to resolve in this final stretch of the transfer window, as he is looking for a new club before the summer window closes.

According to information provided by Lisa de Ruiter, a journalist at Sky Sports Germany, the former Portuguese youth international defender will remain with the German capital club. The player is currently training separately from the rest of the squad as he wishes to change clubs, but no offers for his services have been received.

It is worth recalling that Sporting and Union Berlin had already reached an agreement for Jeremiah St. Juste. The Dutchman was set to return to the Bundesliga in a deal that would guarantee 2 million euros for Sporting’s coffers, but the club ultimately failed to reach a contract agreement with the player.

This is not the first failed transfer for the center-back. The ‘number 3’ from Alvalade had already been reported as set to join Osasuna and had even given the green light for the move. Nevertheless, the deal fell through due to financial problems at the Pamplona club.

On the last day of the transfer window, unless there is a surprise move, St. Juste is expected to stay at Sporting. The Alvalade club is left with a problem to solve, as the Dutchman is fifth in the defensive pecking order, but also the highest earner, so Sporting will still try, before the transfer window closes, to find a new club for the player.
