Rui Borges unimpressed, drops Sporting player to the B team | OneFootball

Koba Koindredi is no longer working with the Sporting first team and will now train with the B team while the Club looks for a solution for his future. The French midfielder is not part of Rui Borges' plans for the 2026/27 season and, for that reason, was left out of the training camp.

After taking part in the first few weeks of preparation at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, the player was sent to the squad coached by Tiago Fernandes. The decision allows Sporting to meet its contractual obligations to the player while awaiting a decision on his next destination.

Signed in January 2024 after standing out at Estoril, where he was playing on loan from Valencia, the player never managed to establish himself at Alvalade. The following season he was loaned to Lausanne and later to Basel, the Swiss club where he recorded two goals and one assist in 40 matches during the last season.

Despite his performances in Switzerland, Basel chose not to trigger the €4 million purchase option included in the loan agreement. As a result, the midfielder returned to Sporting, with whom he remains under contract until the summer of 2028.

Sporting's SAD is now still looking for the best solution for the France under-19 international. The priority is a permanent transfer that would allow the club to recover part of its investment, despite Arouca's interest in a loan deal (Learn more HERE).
