Benfica unhappy with Vítor Matos over Tiago Parente’s lack of minutes | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica are monitoring Tiago Parente’s situation at Swansea and want the left-back to play more regularly.

The 20-year-old joined the Championship club on loan to continue his development in a demanding environment, but the scenario has not matched expectations for the Portuguese club.

Parente is yet to play a single competitive minute under Vítor Matos, although he has been named on the bench in eight of the club’s nine fixtures so far.

The loan was arranged to secure minutes, build match rhythm and test him in a different league before a return to Benfica’s structure.

On arrival, Swansea presented him as an option at left-back and Matos highlighted his talent and the importance of integrating him with the group. Parente made 25 appearances for Benfica B last season, scoring one goal and supplying two assists.

Benfica are watching the next steps closely. His loan runs until the end of the season and he is still viewed as a player with room to grow, but the priority in Wales is clear: play.
