St Juste digs his heels in, Sporting exit now in doubt | OneFootball

The deal with Osasuna for Jeremiah St Juste is at risk of falling through, as the Sporting player does not agree with the terms of the proposal

Jeremiah St. Juste may no longer be heading to Osasuna. The player and his representatives, brothers Yoshua and Benjamin, were not satisfied with the proposal presented by the Spanish club and, due to the delay in receiving a response, the deal is at risk of falling through.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, in its edition of Friday, August 22, the Pamplona emblem would have presented an offer with a duration of two fixed seasons, plus one optional - which would be dependent on the player making a certain number of appearances. However, the center-back wants three fixed seasons, which means that the parties have not yet reached any agreement.

The same source states that Osasuna has some fear of the player's physical condition - who is already approaching 29 years of age and who has been plagued by several injuries since his arrival at Sporting, in the summer of 2022. For this reason, the Spaniards are not willing to take a risk.

The Alvalade Club was expecting to pocket about 3 million euros from this deal, with the Dutchman one season away from ending his contract. In addition to 'dispatching' St. Juste, Sporting would also be freed from his salary, which is one of the highest in the defensive sector (2M).

Sporting will be back on the field next Saturday, August 23, against Nacional. It is known that St. Juste - valued at 6 million euros - will not be among the players called up by Rui Borges for the third round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. In fact, the player has not played any minutes this season.
