Overview

• Sky-linked reports say Porto are negotiating a loan with an obligation to buy for Jakub Kiwior, with the total package expected to exceed £23 million.
• Talks are snagged on wage-sharing and price, with reports noting Arsenal’s reluctance to cover salary during a loan and an asking figure cited around £26m or €30m.
• Kiwior is described by Portuguese outlet O Jogo as keen to leave after recent squad omissions reduced his prospects for regular minutes.
• Arsenal are open to a deal that suits all parties but are not actively pushing a sale, and the defender has multiple years left on his contract.
• AC Milan have also been credited with interest, while a Crystal Palace link has been reported as a possibility, though Porto are seen as leading the chase.
