Up to ten clubs are watching Jakub Kiwior’s situation at Arsenalwhile three have already made inquiries about a possible transfer.
Sources said CaughtOffside that the Gunners have yet to make a final decision on the Kiwior, but it is believed that an offer in the region of €40-45m could persuade them to sell the Poland international.
Arsenal are in advanced discussions to acquire an experienced Spaniard!
However, while Arsenal’s preference would be a permanent sale should Kiwior leave, for now it seems most of the interest in the former Spezia defender would be in the form of a loan.
CaughtOffside can reveal that the ten clubs are looking at Kiwior they are: Juventus, Milan, Inter, Napoli, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Bologna, Sevilla, Villarreal and Marseille.
So far, the three teams who have inquired with Arsenal about Kivior are AC Milan, Napoli and Sevilla, with the latter of those two specifically inquiring about a loan move.
Should Arsenal let Jakub Kiwior go?
Arsenal clearly have a big decision to make here as Kiwior looks like someone who is probably too good to continue sitting on the bench for much longer.
The 24-year-old has never disappointed Mikel Arteta when breaking into the starting line-up, but at the same time there is so much competition for places in Arsenal’s defence.
The Kiwior can play at centre-back or left-back but faces big names like William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori in both positions.
The AFC will need depth if they want to survive the course of another long and challenging season, but it also doesn’t do much good to keep a player who probably won’t be all that happy with the playing time he’s likely to get.
The Kiwior could do well to return to Serie A to revive his career after previously impressing there, and it seems that is where most of his options will be if he is to leave the Emirates Stadium.
