Serie A club Bologna are preparing to make a bid for Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior. The Polish international’s future at the Emirates Stadium has become uncertain following the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori, prompting Bologna to consider a move.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Bologna is keen on bringing Kiwior back to Italy, where he previously played for Spezia. The Rossoblu are exploring the possibility of an initial loan deal with an option to buy, with the loan fee expected to be substantial.
The upcoming Arsenal match against Aston Villa could be crucial in determining Kiwior’s future. Bologna plans to make a decisive push for the defender if he is not included in Arsenal’s squad for the game. The Italian club is confident in their chances, citing a strong relationship with Arsenal following recent transfer dealings.
While Fiorentina has also expressed interest in Kiwior, Bologna appears to be the frontrunner in the race for his signature. The club is ready to act swiftly to secure the services of the versatile defender, who could bolster their backline for the current Serie A campaign.
Kiwior’s potential return to Italy would mark a quick turnaround in his career, having joined Arsenal from Spezia in January 2022. His experience in Serie A could prove valuable for Bologna as they look to strengthen their squad and compete in the Italian top flight.
