Jeremiah St. Juste Transfer from Sporting CP to Osasuna
A Bola reports on St. Juste's meeting with Osasuna regarding a potential transfer. St. Juste and his representatives traveled to Pamplona for a meeting with Osasuna's board at Estadio El Sadar to hear their proposal. The player ultimately declined the approach.
The transfer did not go through because of issues related to contractual structures, legal, and fiscal matters. Osasuna's sports director, Braulio Vázquez, expressed that the club had an interest in St. Juste, noting his speed and versatility as a center-back capable of playing in various defensive formations. Nevertheless, the club was restricted by their salary cap and could not surpass the status of their key players. St. Juste visited Pamplona to assess Osasuna's physical and structural facilities but returned to Lisbon without reaching an agreement. In addition to the salary constraints, St. Juste, who is approaching 29 years of age, sought a fixed three-year contract, while Osasuna proposed a two-year deal with an option for a third year.
A Bola reports on St. Juste's transfer situation involving a rejected move to Osasuna. St. Juste previously rejected a move to Osasuna after meeting with the coach and club officials in Pamplona. Disagreements over contract length and tax deductions led to the cancellation of the transfer.
Kicker reports on Jeremiah St. Juste's potential return to the Bundesliga with 1. FC Union Berlin amidst interest from CA Osasuna. Jeremiah St. Juste prefers a return to the Bundesliga with 1. FC Union Berlin, but CA Osasuna is also interested in him. The transfer depends on Diogo Leite's potential departure from Union, as St. Juste would fill the gap left by him.
A Bola reports on the near transfer of St. Juste to Osasuna. St. Juste was very close to joining Osasuna, with a transfer agreement of around 3 million euros in place between Sporting and Osasuna. However, the player and Osasuna could not reach a personal agreement, as the player desired a three-year fixed contract, while Osasuna offered two years plus one based on objectives. Additionally, tax-related issues were not resolved between the player and the Spanish club.
Sporting agreed to a proposal from Osasuna for approximately three million euros. St. Juste, a 28-year-old Dutch defender, traveled to Pamplona to discuss the terms but decided against the move due to concerns about the non-guaranteed third year of the contract and issues related to taxes. Although he is only the fifth choice in Sporting's central defense hierarchy, St. Juste is willing to leave if his conditions are met. With just a year remaining on his contract and not being a priority for coach Rui Borges, Sporting is unlikely to stand in the way of his departure. The player's market value is estimated at €6.00m by Transfermarkt, and he has also attracted interest from other clubs, including FC Union Berlin and Beşiktaş.
