Arsenal have had a productive transfer window with six signings.
The manager has his sights on adding a left winger to the ranks, but it depends on player sales.
Kiwior is one of those anticipated to leave.
The Poland international has been a key back-up player in the squad, but he is reportedly eyeing regular playing time in the prime of his career.
Journalist Ed Aarons now reports that Kiwior would prefer to join a club overseas than stay in the Premier League.
Porto have been in talks over a loan move for the Pole. It is claimed that Crystal Palace had also expressed an interest.
Arsenal must only entertain permanent bids for Kiwior
The 25-year-old had a indifferent start to his Gunners career after he arrived from Spezia in January 2023.
He made positional errors and also struggled to cope with the intensity at times. However, Kiwior has since developed into a quality centre-back.
Kiwior was exceptional in the final months of last season. He provided brilliant cover for the injured Gabriel Magalhaes, partnering William Saliba.
He was described as a potential weak link by some pundits and fans, but the centre-back outperformed Saliba, who made defensive errors instead.
Kiwior’s stock has risen after his performances last term. He was signed for only £20m two years ago, but the Gunners should seek a much higher fee.
The defender has a Transfermarkt value of £24m, but the Gunners should ideally look for at least £30m to sanction his sale before the window closes.
Arsenal are open to allowing Kiwior to depart for regular first-team football, having signed a quality young centre-back in Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia.
Still, the Gunners must hold out for permanent bids and should not entertain loan offers. He has three years left on his deal, and Arsenal need to make a profit from his sale.
Kiwior has attracted widespread interest from Serie A in the past, and we won’t be surprised if one of the elite Italian clubs make an approach before the transfer deadline.
Arsenal would prefer an early sale to recoup funds in their pursuit of a marquee left winger.
Palace could still emerge as a destination if they can persuade Kiwior. A deal could be on the cards if Marc Guehi were to depart for Liverpool in the coming days.
