THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE SWANSEA.COM STADIUM 17:22, 29 May 2025 Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Thursday, May 29. CLUBS MONITORING FRANCO Several clubs are


keeping tabs on Swansea City midfielder Goncalo Franco, sources have told WalesOnline. Franco emerged as a leading light for the Swans last season following a move from Portuguese side


Moreirense in the summer, making 40 Championship appearances, racking up two goals and two assists in the process. His impressive run of form has seen him become a firm fans' favourite,


and has also seen him catch the attention of clubs both on these shores and on the continent. _Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your

approach at this stage. Swansea are unlikely to be keen on sanctioning a sale, with Franco seen as a important part of Alan Sheehan's plans for the new season. Nevertheless, the


club's financial situation means they may yet be tempted to cash in should the right offer arrive. WREXHAM EYE PEART-HARRIS Wrexham are weighing up a potential move for former Swansea


City loanee Myles Peart-Harris, sources have told WalesOnline. The winger enjoyed a fairly successful loan spell with the Swans last season, scoring three goals and earning four assists in


29 Championship appearances. His time in SA1 came to an abrupt end back in March after he suffered a back injury in a goalless draw with Preston North End, and he has since been back at


parent club Brentford to undergo rehabilitation. Now, newly-promoted Wrexham have identified the Bees man as one of several possibilities this summer, although it's not clear if they


would favour a loan or permanent deal. The 22-year-old has one year left on his current deal with the Bees, who recently triggered a 12-month extension. Wrexham are also keen on


Peart-Harris' former Swans team-mate Harry Darling, whose future remains up in the air as his current deal winds down next month. SWANS FORCED TO PULL GLAMOUR FRIENDLY Swansea have been


forced to cancel a glamourous pre-season friendly with PSV Eindhoven - because of the Dutch side's title triumph. PSV pipped rivals Ajax to the Eredivisie title during a thrilling end


to the season, winning the a second consecutive title by just one point. That has put the buffers on the proposed fixture at the Swansea.com Stadium, which was due to take place a week


before the start of the new Championship season. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. That's because PSV will now be involved in the Johan Cruyff Shield, which is the Dutch


equivalent of the Community Shield, where they will meet Go Ahead Eagles. Swans chiefs are still hopeful of organising a clash with continental opposition, but it's not clear who they


now have in mind. Article continues below Last summer, the club faced Portuguese outfit Rio Ave, and ran out 3-0 winners courtesy of goals from Jay Fulton, Kyle Naughton and Matt Grimes.
