Servette, coached by Jocelyn Gourvennec, has joined the list of clubs interested in Koba Koindredi, Leonino has learned. The Swiss side’s interest comes at a time when the Lions are looking to find a solution for the player, who is not part of Rui Borges’ plans.
Even so, Grasshoppers remain at the front of the race for the 24-year-old footballer. The Zurich club has already made contact with Sporting’s SAD regarding a loan deal and, at this point, remains the most likely destination.
The player returned to Sporting after spending last season on loan at Basel, where he made 28 appearances in the Swiss league. The midfielder is under contract with the Lions until 2028 but, with no room in the first team, he has been training separately while awaiting a decision on his future.
The green-and-white club’s priority is to resolve the 24-year-old player’s situation before the transfer window closes. Pafos was recently mentioned as a possible destination, but, as our newspaper previously reported, Sá Pinto has no interest in the player.
Signed from Estoril in January 2024 for €4.25 million, Koba Koindredi has no place in the squad for 2026/27. The Frenchman is now looking for a new club to continue his career.
