Mainz have confirmed the departure of Jeremiah St. Juste, who will be joining Sporting CP on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
"Jeremiah approached us and expressed his desire to join Sporting Lisbon, as he is keen to take the next steps in his career in another country. We fully understood and accepted his decision," said Mainz boss Christian Heidel.
"However, it was also important for us to come to a transfer agreement that was in line with our financial requirements. We wish Jeremiah all the best at his new club. Despite the fact he has missed much of this season due to injury, he has played an important role at Mainz over the last three years," he added.
The Dutch centre-back spent three seasons at Mainz, making 69 appearances for the club with three goals and three assists to his name.
