Premier League
Faced with the possibility of Loic Badé leaving, Sevilla FC is already starting to explore options to strengthen its defense, and one of the names that stands out in Víctor Orta's list is Jakub Kiwior. The young Polish center-back, 24 years old, has been of interest to Sevilla since Orta took over the club's sporting direction in 2023. However, his signing did not materialize because Arsenal, which acquired him from Spezia for almost 20 million euros, was not willing to let him go at that time.
Sevilla has been thinking about his signing for months
Kiwior's situation has changed this season, and the defender seems to be seeking more playing time away from London, where he has barely had opportunities under Mikel Arteta's direction. He has only played in four Premier League matches, all from the bench, in addition to some minutes in the Champions League and League Cup. This has opened a small window for Sevilla to consider his loan as an alternative to strengthen their defense, in case Badé's departure is confirmed.

Arsenal will listen to offers for 24-year-old defender Jakub Kiwior.

However, the path is not easy. As Ekrem Konur reports, the competition for the Polish player is fierce, with renowned clubs in Italy like Milan, Inter, and Napoli interested in his services. If Arsenal opts for a permanent sale, with a price close to 30 million euros, Sevilla would have few chances to match the offer. Therefore, a loan appears as the only viable way to bring Kiwior on board.
