Official! Hours before deadline, 24-year-old midfielder leaves Sporting | OneFootball

It’s official. Just days before the close of the summer transfer window, Sporting managed to move on another player who was not part of Rui Borges’ plans. Koba Koindredi has been announced as a new signing for Lausanne, the Swiss club he returns to after having already represented the team in the 2024/25 season. The transfer fee was not disclosed.

The 24-year-old French midfielder signed a contract valid for three seasons, tying him to the Swiss side until June 2029. Last season, Koindredi was also on loan in Switzerland, but with Basel, where he made 41 appearances in all competitions.

The departure also allows Sporting to definitively resolve a situation that had been dragging on. The player still had two years left on his contract with the Lions, but the two parties reached an agreement for a permanent transfer. The player was not part of Rui Borges’ plans.

Lausanne ultimately won the race for the midfielder, despite interest from another Swiss club. Grasshoppers also tried to secure Koindredi’s signing, but were unable to reach an agreement to take the player.

It was also reported that Ricardo Sá Pinto’s Pafos intended to sign the footballer as well. However, as our newspaper reported exclusively, the Portuguese coach never intended to sign the midfielder(Read more HERE).
