After exit, Sporting still hold 50% of player who cost millions | OneFootball

Koba Koindredi has left Sporting permanently and returned to Lausanne, but the green and whites safeguarded an important share of the midfielder’s economic rights. Despite the contract termination, SAD retained 50% of the 24-year-old player’s registration rights.

According to Record, the agreement also includes the possibility of Sporting receiving up to €650,000 upon the achievement of certain objectives. Koindredi has meanwhile signed a three-season contract with Lausanne, tying him to the Swiss club until June 2029.

The Frenchman spent the last few weeks training with the B team, after Rui Borges made it clear that he was not part of the plans for 2026/27. The departure therefore definitively resolves a case that had been dragging on since the start of preparations for the new season.

Koindredi had been signed by Sporting in 2023/24 for €4.25 million, but he never managed to establish himself at Alvalade. He ended up being loaned out successively, first to Lausanne itself and then to Basel, where last season he made 41 appearances in all competitions.

Lausanne ultimately won the race for the midfielder, who had also attracted interest from Grasshoppers. Koindredi’s name was also linked with Pafos, but, as Leonino reported exclusively, Ricardo Sá Pinto never intended to sign the player.
