Jakub Kiwior is open to a move to Juventus as interest continues to build ahead of a potential move away from Arsenal this summer.
That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that a number of Italian clubs want to sign the 25-year-old.
The centre-back joined Mikel Arteta’s side from Serie A outfit Spezia in 2023 and is now believed to be keen on a permanent return to Italy.
Brown told Football Insider on 8 May that Kiwior wants to leave Arsenal in search of first-team football and believes he can play regularly for a top side.
The Poland international has started the Gunners’ last 11 games in all competitions, but is expected to drop out of the side when Gabriel Magalhaes returns from injury.
Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed on 11 May that Juventus and Inter Milan want to sign Kiwior and will force him to make a decision about his future.

Football Insider revealed on 4 May that Kiwior is considering leaving Arsenal while the Gunners are also eyeing potential defensive reinforcements this summer.
Brown, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted that his departure will depend on whether Mikel Arteta is willing to let him leave.
“*Kiwior is assessing his situation at Arsenal,*” he told Football Insider.
“He’ll know how he feels about his role at Arsenal and whether he’s going to get the type of playing time he wants when everybody is fit and available.
“From what I hear, Juventus and a few of the other Italian clubs are looking at him.
“He moved to Arsenal from an Italian club, so he knows the league and the country which is always a boost for these types of moves.
“A move to Juventus is one he will be interested in if they can meet Arsenal’s asking price.
“It will depend on whether the interested clubs make a move and whether Arteta wants to let him go.”

Mikel Arteta makes Leandro Trossard contract decision
Another player who has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates this season is Leandro Trossard, amid interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
Brown told Football Insider on 20 May that Arsenal will offer Trossard a new contract as Arteta values him as an important part of his squad.
However, they are aiming to sign at least one new forward to improve their starting XI which would see Trossard’s role reduced to an impact player.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider Arsenal want to sign a “special” forward after what has been another frustrating season in North London.
