Sá Pinto wants Sporting midfielder at Pafos, Varandas grateful | OneFootball

Koba Koindredi may have a solution in sight to leave Sporting. The 24-year-old midfielder is not part of 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 been made to Sporting’s officials regarding the player’s signing.

Pafos have already signed two players from Alvalade in this transfer window. Biel was loaned out for one season, with an option to buy, while Alexandre Brito signed after his contract expired, with Sporting retaining 50% of his economic rights.

Koindredi is currently training with the B team while awaiting a move. Signed from Estoril in January 2024 for €4.25 million, he was never able to establish himself regularly 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. Koba Koindredi has returned to Alvalade, where he remains among the players deemed surplus to requirements.
