Matos says mass alterations must be avoided otherwise the work done on the training ground and in the meeting room since he took over in November “was just for nothing”.
“The ownership has a really clear vision of what they want for the future,” he added.
“I buy into that and they bought into my ideas as well. That was always the common ground, that’s why [my] contract is until 2029.
“We had a transfer window with more limitations, that was January. Now a little bit different, so let’s see how it goes.”
Regardless of what business is done, Matos insists he is excited about the summer because of pre-season.
Since taking the reins, the Portuguese has continually referred to the lack of training time available given the frequency of fixtures in the Championship.
This week is an ideal example. Having hosted Southampton last Saturday, Swansea travelled on Monday to face Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday before returning to Wales in the early hours of Wednesday.
After one full day at the training ground, they were back on the bus on Friday for the long trek east to face Norwich City on Saturday (15:00 BST).
“I will say it now, the best transfer [of the summer] will be the pre-season together,” Matos said.
“It doesn’t mean that you’re going to win all the games, but it means you create basics to be closer to success and you create basics that when there’s a little bit of a storm, you always find a way to get out.
“That will be massive for us.”
