Zeidane Inoussa is set to move to Portsmouth on a season-long loan deal, while Ronald faces an uncertain future at Swansea City with Millwall pursuing the Brazilian winger. Both players have fallen out of favour at the Welsh club following recent summer signings in wide positions.
Inoussa, who joined Swansea from Swedish side BK Häcken in May 2025, will spend the remainder of the campaign at Fratton Park. According to the latest reporting on the deal, the move is structured as a temporary arrangement rather than a permanent transfer. Portsmouth are expected to complete the signing on deadline day, with the transfer still active in the final hours of the window.
The 24-year-old former Sweden Under-21 international has struggled to make an impact in his first season at Swansea.com Stadium, recording just one goal across 29 appearances while managing fitness issues. His contract with the club runs until June 2030.
Why has Ronald become available?
Ronald, 25, has similarly slipped down the pecking order at Swansea following the arrivals of Joseph Opoku and Moussa Yeo during the summer transfer window. The club are also in advanced talks to sign Manchester City prospect Jeremy Monga, further reducing opportunities for the Brazilian.
Since arriving at Swansea in January 2024, Ronald has contributed 12 goals in 117 league appearances. He featured off the bench in last Saturday's 3-0 victory over Derby County, but that may prove to be his final involvement for the club this season.
What is Millwall's interest in Ronald?
Millwall have agreed a fee with Swansea for Ronald's services, with the transfer expected to cost the Lions approximately £2 million if completed. The Brazilian will not feature in Swansea's upcoming Championship fixture against Watford on Tuesday due to the ongoing negotiations with the London club.
Both Inoussa and Ronald have found themselves marginalised at Swansea despite their previous contributions. Combined with other squad members, the pair accumulated 132 league appearances during the 2025-26 season but managed only six league goals between them, highlighting their limited impact in recent months.
What happens next?
Both moves must be finalised before the transfer deadline on 1 September 2026. Portsmouth's completion of the Inoussa loan and Millwall's acquisition of Ronald represent Swansea's efforts to streamline their squad and create space for their new wide-player signings to establish themselves.
Swansea are also attempting to move on Florian Bianchini, who endured a disappointing loan spell at Portsmouth in the previous campaign, as they reshape their attacking options ahead of the remainder of the season.
