Juventus is turning its attention back to Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior following the setback in their pursuit of Jean-Clair Todibo, who opted to join West Ham after prolonged negotiations. With a specific request from manager Thiago Motta for a high-caliber left-footed central defender, Juventus is exploring the market for suitable alternatives.
Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo reports how Kiwior, a left-footed Polish defender, has caught Juventus’s eye once again. Thiago Motta, who previously coached Kiwior at Spezia, is familiar with his capabilities, making him an attractive option for the Italian giants. Juventus has been inquiring about Kiwior’s availability, especially since his position at Arsenal is under threat due to the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori.
Arsenal is open to parting ways with Kiwior, either through a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy. This situation provides Juventus with a relatively clear path to secure the defender, as other interested clubs, like Bologna and Milan, have shifted their focus elsewhere.
Juventus’s renewed interest in Kiwior underscores their urgency to bolster their defense, especially after missing out on other targets. The club is expected to make a decision early next week on whether to proceed with their pursuit of Kiwior, as the transfer window deadline looms.
