St. Juste set to leave Sporting for surprise move | OneFootball

Jeremiah St. Juste is very close to leaving Sporting for Union Berlin, a team that plays in the first division of German football. The Dutch central defender had been pointed out as leaving Clube de Alvalade since last season, and everything should be confirmed soon.

The news is advanced by Jornal Record. According to the national press, the deal between the two clubs is close to being concluded. This outcome is a surprise in relation to Jeremiah St. Juste's dossier, since the player was very close to joining Osasuna this summer.

The arrival of Rui Borges at Sporting took away space from St. Juste, mainly due to the change to a system that uses only two central defenders, unlike what happened during long periods, when Ruben Amorim was in charge of the team.

This change, combined with the fact that St. Juste is entering the last year of his contract with Sporting, led the lions to decide to try to sell the central defender this summer, who was given permission to look for a new club. The player had almost everything settled with Osasuna, and the deal seemed about to be concluded, when Union Berlin intervened in the race.

With the Germans offering similar values to those presented by the Spaniards, Sporting had no problem letting the player choose his next destination, and the decision is said to have fallen on the Bundesliga, a championship he knows from his time at Mainz. St. Juste still trained with the green and white team on Tuesday, but with everything very close to being closed, he is only waiting for authorization from Clube de Alvalade to travel to German soil and start a new adventure in his career.
