Atalanta and Napoli want to sign Jakub Kiwior, and Arsenal will demand €35 million to let him leave. A report by Tutto Atalanta has claimed that the two Serie A clubs are hoping to get the deal done.
It remains to be seen where Kiwior ends up. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Arsenal will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. It would make sense for him to move on in the summer.
Arsenal have multiple defensive options at their disposal, and it would be ideal for the 25-year-old to move on and join a club where he will play regularly. The reported asking price might seem expensive for the two Italian clubs, and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to pay up.
However, the 25-year-old is a talented player and he has shown his ability in English football. He has the quality to do well in Italy as well, and he could justify the investment in the long run.
The 25-year-old defender is capable of operating as a central defender as well as a full-back. His versatility will be an added bonus for the two clubs.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will be hoping to use the funds from his departure to improve their squad. They need to add more quality to the side if they want to win the league title next season. Signing a quality attacker will be their priority. They need to invest in our reliable centre forward who can find the back of the net regularly.
Arsenal are likely to finish second in the Premier League table this season, and they will be desperate to bring in the right additions so that they can go all the way next year.
A club of their status should be winning major trophies, and they have not been able to do that for quite some time. Getting rid of their fringe players will certainly boost them financially and help them attract quality players in the summer.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old defender will look to get his career back on track as well. Regular football in Italy will help him regain his form and confidence. Sitting on the bench at Arsenal has been detrimental to his development, and he will look to fulfil his potential with regular football in Italy.
