Matos suggests Bianchini unlikely to play for Swansea

Summary

Vitor Matos indicated that Florian Bianchini may not get game time with Swansea City as the transfer window approaches. Swansea acquired Bianchini from Bastia for nearly £2m in the summer of 2024, but he has struggled for form, scoring three goals in 38 matches during the 2024-25 season. He was loaned to Portsmouth last season but managed only 11 appearances due to a knee injury. Matos mentioned the importance of Bianchini finding a situation where he feels valued, as the club evaluates potential moves ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline. Discussions about Bianchini's future will continue after the window closes if he does not transfer.

What they're saying

"
Vitor Matos has indicated that Florian Bianchini is unlikely to get game time in his team as Swansea City wait to see whether the forward will move on in this transfer window. Swansea paid French second-tier club Bastia almost £2m to secure Bianchini's services in the summer of 2024. Bianchini, who can play out wide or up front, scored three goals in 38 appearances – only eight of which were league starts – in 2024-25 before being sent on loan to Portsmouth last season.
