Rui Borges drops hint on St. Juste’s future ahead of Sporting v Porto | OneFootball

Rui Borges spoke about the future of Jeremiah St. Juste, stating that the athlete is not called up for the Sporting - Porto match. The Dutch defender is one of the names most pointed to leave the Lions, with interest from Union Berlin. The team from the German capital intends to make a 2 million euro offer for the center-back, but they are waiting for the departure of the Portuguese Diogo Leite, who is expected to join Fiorentina.

“St. Juste will not be in the game, Conrad is a Sporting player and will be,” stated the coach of the Alvalade Club in the preview conference for the classic against Porto, also taking the opportunity to talk about Conrad Harder, who also seems to be on his way out from the Lions, heading to Rennes.

The main focus of the press conference ended up being the game against Francesco Farioli's team: “It's a team true to its game, very vertical, aggressive play with the ball, strong defensively in duels. Physically, they have become stronger, we have to be prepared for the duels, to balance that part physically to impose our game.”

The Sporting – Porto match is scheduled for next Saturday at 8:30 PM at Estádio José Alvalade. The game pertains to the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and pits two of the current three leaders of the competition against each other, alongside Moreirense. The match will be refereed by João Gonçalves.

In 2024/2025, St. Juste – valued at 6 million euros – played 28 games wearing the Sporting jersey: 14 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, and three in the League Cup. In total, the defender accumulated 1,385 minutes, without scoring or providing any assists.
