Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica far from happy with Vítor Matos | OneFootball

Benfica are keeping a close eye onTiago Parente's situation at Swansea and want the full-back to start getting regular minutes, Glorioso 1904 understands. The 20-year-old player was loaned to the Welsh club with the aim of continuing his development in a demanding competitive environment. However, the situation is far from what the Eagles had expected.

The wide player has yet to play a single official minute for the team managed byVítor Matos, despite being among the Portuguese coach’s options, having been on the bench in eight of the nine matches played by the Championship club.

The situation has not gone unnoticed at Benfica. According to what our newspaper has learned, the loan was designed precisely to allow the player to get minutes, build experience and establish himself in a different league before returning to Benfica’s setup.

When the move was made official, Swansea presented Tiago Parente as an option at left-back and Vítor Matos highlighted the player’s talent and the importance of integrating him into the group, after the defender made 25 appearances for Benfica B last season, with one goal and two assists.

That is why Benfica are closely monitoring the next steps. Parente is under loan until the end of the season and is still seen by the Eagles as a player with room to grow, but the priority during this spell in Wales is clear: to play.
