Italian football giants are currently in a fierce battle to secure the services of Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior. Inter Milan, Juventus, and Bologna are all vying for the opportunity to sign the player.
The impending arrival of Riccardo Calafiori at Arsenal has paved the way for Kiwior’s departure, as the Gunners have finalized a deal to bring in the Italian international. With Calafiori set to provide increased competition in Mikel Arteta’s defense, Kiwior is looking to move on in search of regular playing time.
Despite his talent, Kiwior has found it challenging to secure a consistent spot in Arsenal’s lineup, having only started 16 league games in the past 18 months. With a surplus of options at center-back and left-back, Arsenal is willing to part ways with Kiwior, a decision that has attracted interest from Serie A clubs.
Reports from Calciomercato suggest that Inter has emerged as the front-runners in the race to sign Kiwior, ahead of Juventus, as they aim to bolster their defensive ranks for the upcoming 2024-25 season. Kiwior has previously impressed in Italy during his time at Spezia before moving to the Premier League.
Furthermore, discussions regarding Kiwior’s potential move have also taken place between Arsenal and Bologna during negotiations for Calafiori. While any deal involving Kiwior would be separate from Calafiori’s transfer to Arsenal, the Polish international is seen as an ideal replacement for Calafiori as Bologna gears up for their first Champions League campaign in over five decades.
In other news, the deadline for the release clause of a Euro 2024 star has been revealed, and an England midfielder is reportedly leaning towards a move to Liverpool over Arsenal.
