AC Milan, led by Stefano Pioli, are aiming to strengthen their defense during the winter transfer window and the player who has piqued their interest is Jakub Kiwior, a Polish central defender who is currently in Arsenal’s ranks. According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club are eyeing Kiwior as a priority target to strengthen their squad.
The Italian star who wants to get Kiwior from Arsenal
The 23-year-old defender rose to fame playing for Spezia early in his career, which led Arsenal to sign him for a fee of €25 million earlier this year. Although Kiwior is not a regular starter in the London team at the moment, his potential has been noticed and the Gunners are confident that he will play a crucial role in the first team in the future, backed by his outstanding performances for the Poland international team. .
With 16 games played and one goal scored since arriving at Arsenal, Kiwior has proven his worth in the top flight. His contract with the Gunners runs until the summer of 2028 and the English club has no intention of letting him leave in the near future.
However, AC Milan sees Kiwior as the solution to their defensive depth problems. Despite Arsenal’s firm stance, the Rossoneri are ready to sign the talented centre-back, although their financial situation currently suggests they would be more likely to pursue a loan deal rather than a permanent transfer. Although Mikel Arteta has no plans to get rid of his defenders, Kiwior’s fortunes could change if Arsenal decide to strengthen their defense in the winter market, allowing the Pole to temporarily move to AC Milan to gain experience and minutes in Serie A .
