Koba Koindredi left Sporting permanently and returned to Lausanne, but it is now known that the French midfielder’s departure happened through a contract termination with the Lions. The 24-year-old player was officially announced by the Swiss club this Tuesday, where he signed a deal valid until June 2029.
The player was still under contract with Sporting, but the two parties reached an agreement to bring their relationship to an end. The midfielder thus returns to Lausanne, the club he represented in the 2024/25 season, after having been on loan to Basel last season, where he made 41 appearances.
The Frenchman had arrived at Alvalade in January 2024 from Estoril, in a deal valued at around €4 million for 90% of the economic rights. At the time, he signed until 2028, but he never managed to establish himself consistently in the first team.
After starting pre-season as part of Rui Borges’ squad, the midfielder once again ended up outside the coach’s plans. The Alvalade club was looking for a solution for the player, and there was even interest from Grasshoppers, also from Switzerland, but the transfer did not go through.
