The summer transfer window is in full swing. It often brings about unexpected shifts in player careers. Jeremiah St. Juste, a central figure in Sporting’s defense, could soon be on the move. The club’s management might put him up for sale this summer. This has caught the eye of a new suitor for the 28-year-old center-back.
Reports from Turkey suggest Besiktas is keen. Their coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, needs to strengthen his backline. St. Juste, a Dutchman, is high on Besiktas’s wanted list for new players. The Turkish press indicates he is highly rated by the club.
St. Juste, known as ‘Jer,’ carries a 45 million euro release clause. However, his contract with Sporting only runs for one more season. This setup means a transfer now could bring Sporting a much-needed financial boost during this transfer period. It is a smart play to gain funds from his potential departure.
