Juventus Eye 30M Euro Move for Porto's Kiwior

Published 16 March 2026

Jakub Kiwior, the 26-year-old Polish defender on loan at FC Porto from Arsenal, has attracted interest from Juventus, who are considering a 30 million euro move for him this summer. The potential transfer could provide Arsenal with an additional financial boost through a sell-on clause, as Porto holds an obligation to make Kiwior's move permanent for approximately 23 million euros at the end of the season.

Kiwior joined Porto on a season-long loan in September after limited opportunities at Arsenal prompted his departure. The arrangement includes the obligation to buy, reflecting Porto's confidence in the center-back, who can also operate on the left side of defense. Since arriving in Portugal, Kiwior has become a key figure in Porto's backline under coach Francesco Farioli. He has started 19 of the team's 22 Primeira Liga matches, contributing to just 10 goals conceded and 17 clean sheets as Porto leads the league by seven points. In all competitions, he has made 28 appearances, registering two assists. Kiwior is expected to feature in Porto's Europa League last-16 second leg against Stuttgart on Thursday, following their 2-1 first-leg victory.
