FC Porto await Arsenal’s final answer on Kiwior | OneFootball

FC Porto is still awaiting a definitive response this Monday to their approach for Jakub Kiwior and is confident about the progress of the negotiations. The Arsenal board has called for a meeting with the technical department in the coming hours, where the likely departure of the Polish center-back will be one of the main topics of the meeting. The Dragons are inclined to secure Kiwior on loan with an obligation to buy, with only the final value of the deal to be agreed upon. Despite the signings of fellow Pole Jan Bednarek and Croatian Dominik Prpic, Francesco Farioli, after reassessing the squad, has still requested a reinforcement for the defensive axis. At 25 years old, Jakub Kiwior has been in FC Porto's plans since last season, so the process of approaching Arsenal began immediately, benefiting from the good relationship between the two clubs.

According to journalist Fabrízio Romano, an expert on transfer market-related topics, the Dragons will close a new offer this week, in time for the close of the summer window, which will close in a week's time.

It should be noted that Arsenal had already rejected a proposal from FC Porto last July, at a time when there was talk of a payment of seven million euros for the loan of the center-back, in addition to a mandatory purchase clause set at 20 million euros.
