Florian Bianchini

Florian Bianchini (born 25 June 2001) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 on loan from club Swansea City.

Club career

France Bianchini made his professional debut with Amiens in a 0–0 Ligue 2 tie with Châteauroux on 19 September 2020.

On 1 September 2022, Bianchini was loaned by Châteauroux.

He played for Bastia during the 2023–24 season, where he scored five goals for the club. He initially struggled for gametime, making just four substitute appearances in the league by 18 October 2024. Being described by head coach Luke Williams as someone who he was sure was "going to become a very good player for [Swansea]", he would begin to receive more gametime following a six-week knee injury to Eom Ji-sung. Bianchini scored his first goal for the club on 2 November 2024, in a 1-2 win against Oxford United. During his debut campaign, he would go onto score two more goals and make a total of 36 league appearances, though just eight of them were starts.

On 31 July 2025, Bianchini signed for fellow Championship club Portsmouth on a season-long loan. He made just ten league appearances during the season, six of which were starts, and would play his final game for the club on 26 November 2025, in a 3-0 loss away to Sheffield United. This was partly because of persistent issues with tendonitis in his knee, resulting in him being de-registered from Portsmouth's 25-man league squad on 11 February 2026. Furthermore, Portsmouth did not have an option to terminate Bianchini's loan spell, and Swansea City were unwilling to recall the forward.

Upon his return to Swansea City, he was left out of a pre-season training camp squad that traveled to Austria, and did not receive a squad number, putting his future at the club in doubt. On 1 September 2026, Bianchini joined Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 on a season-long loan deal.

Personal life Bianchini is of Corsican descent through his grandfather.
