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

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

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in transfer market topics, the Dragons will finalize a new offer this week, in time for the closing of the summer window, which will end in a week's time.

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