Serie A club AC Milan is reportedly preparing to intensify their pursuit of Jakub Kiwior in the coming weeks, amid suggestions that the defender could depart Arsenal. Kiwior has earned recognition as one of the Premier League’s most reliable alternative options, consistently proving valuable whenever called upon.
Under Mikel Arteta’s management, maintaining squad depth has been a priority, and Kiwior is among the players the manager relies on. Despite this trust, his appearances are largely limited to occasions when William Saliba or Gabriel are unavailable or given a rest.
Limited Opportunities at Arsenal
The restricted game time has left Kiwior seeking a more prominent role, something that is difficult to secure at the Emirates given the competition for places. Arsenal are understood to appreciate his contributions and have not actively sought to sell him, recognising his importance over recent seasons. His ability to step in without compromising team performance has made him a valued squad member.
However, there is also an awareness that a player of his calibre may wish to pursue regular first-team football, and the club would understand if he opted to move on.
AC Milan’s Growing Interest
Per Tuttomercatoweb, AC Milan are now stepping up their interest in securing Kiwior’s services. The Italian side reportedly views him as a priority target and is prepared to make a strong effort to bring him back to Serie A. His previous experience in Italy, combined with his defensive versatility, makes him an appealing option for the Rossoneri.
For Arsenal, retaining Kiwior would ensure they maintain one of the best backup defenders in the league, providing essential cover in a demanding season. For the player, however, a move to AC Milan could offer the regular football he desires while allowing him to compete at a high level in another top European league.
The coming weeks are expected to determine whether Kiwior remains part of Arteta’s plans or embarks on a new chapter in Italy. Either outcome will significantly shape both Arsenal’s squad depth and Milan’s defensive options for the season ahead.

Milan, along with other Italian clubs, were quite “interested” in Kiwior last summer so there’s likely to be some basis in this latest report.
Just over two weeks left so there’s still time. If Berta is to be a successful seller as he is a buyer then it will probably be very hectic though!
