Sporting CP is actively managing the departures of midfielders Koba Koindredi and Sotiris Alexandropoulos, two players currently training under coach Tiago Fernandes away from the main and B squads, following a combined transfer investment exceeding 8 million euros, according to club reports.
Sotiris Alexandropoulos Faces Final Year of Contract After Multiple Loans
Sotiris Alexandropoulos arrived in Lisbon from Panathinaikos for a fee of 4 million euros to replace Matheus Nunes following his move to Wolverhampton. The 24-year-old Greek midfielder struggled to secure a permanent role after making just 14 appearances during the 2022/23 season. Subsequent loan spells at Olympiakos, Standard Liège, and Fortuna Düsseldorf failed to yield permanent transfers. With his contract entering its final year, Sporting may seek a financial agreement with the player to terminate his current deal.
Koba Koindredi Returns From Swiss Loan Stints
Koba Koindredi joined Sporting in January 2024 from Valencia after a prior stint at Estoril, with the club investing 4,25 million euros for his registration. The French midfielder made only eight appearances in his debut season before heading out on loan to Swiss clubs Lausanne and Basel. Although he featured in 40 matches and scored two goals during the 2025/26 campaign, Basel did not trigger his 4 million euro purchase option. Under contract until 2028, the 24-year-old began pre-season under manager Rui Borges but was omitted from the squad’s Algarve training camp.
