Swansea City boss confirms stance on Leo Walta as fans continue to ask questions

Swansea boss Matos says Walta could return after his loan at LAFC ends in January, but the decision depends on all three parties.

Vitor Matos has not ruled out Leo Walta resuming his Swansea City career after the midfielder's loan spell at LAFC concludes in January. Walta has made an impressive start in MLS, scoring twice in his last three games for LA and becoming an important player under interim head coach Xavi Tamarit. Despite limited opportunities at Swansea, Matos has been monitoring his progress closely and acknowledged the midfielder's recent performances, particularly a set-piece goal against New York City and another strike against LA Galaxy.

LAFC hold an option to make Walta's move permanent, which has led some fans to question whether the Finnish midfielder has played his last game for the Swans. However, Matos indicated there remains a potential route back. "There's always a chance [he comes back]," the Swansea manager said. "When the three parts are happy, it's life and then you need to move on. So when the loan will finish, let's see what LA wants, what we want and what Leo wants."
