Ricardo Sá Pinto wants Sporting midfielder at Pafos, Varandas pleased | OneFootball

Koba Koindredi may have a solution in sight to leave Sporting. The 24-year-old midfielder is not in Rui Borges’ plans for the new season and has been linked with Pafos, the Cypriot club currently managed by Ricardo Sá Pinto.

According to the ‘SuperSport104’ outlet, the Cyprus-based side is considering a move for the French footballer. However, so far, no proposal or formal approach has yet been made to Sporting’s officials with a view to signing the player.

Pafos have already brought in two players from Alvalade in this transfer window. Biel joined on a one-season loan with an option to buy, while Alexandre Brito signed after his contract expired, with Sporting retaining 50% of his economic rights.

Koindredi is currently working with the B team while awaiting a move. Signed from Estoril in January 2024 for €4.25 million, he never managed to establish himself consistently in the first team and was later loaned out to Lausanne and Basel.

In Switzerland, the midfielder recorded one goal and five assists in 36 matches for Lausanne, followed by two goals and one assist in 40 games for Basel. The Swiss club did not exercise the purchase option, leading Koba Koindredi to return to Alvalade, where he remains among the players deemed surplus to requirements.
