An article in today’s Corriere dello Sport suggests that Jakub Kiwior, Arsenal’s Polish centre-back, is still considered a potential loan option for Juventus…if Arsenal are open to the idea.

Jakub Kiwior remains a potential loan option for Juventus as they seek defensive reinforcements with Arsenal reportedly evaluating offers amid ongoing transfer negotiations.
However, he appears to be one of several names under consideration by Juventus as part of their broader defensive market moves. The focus remains on whether Arsenal will sanction a move (seems unlikely), but his availability is seen as a “valid option” in terms of both cost and suitability.
Meanwhile, the piece also highlights manager Thiago Motta’s preference for Benfica’s Antonio Silva, though his €100 million release clause is a significant barrier to a club looking for free players. Kiwior is positioned in the article as a more accessible alternative compared to other high-profile targets like Silva.
Cristiano Giuntoli, active in managing defensive transfer negotiations, is pursuing multiple options in parallel, including other defenders such as Feyenoord’s David Hancko and Milan’s Fikayo Tomori.
With Arsenal struggling all season with defensive injuries, it seems unlikely they will sanction a move for a player they blocked from leaving previously. Still, the Italian media persist.
