AC Milan is exploring a double signing of Arsenal defenders Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko as part of their rebuilding process under Massimiliano Allegri.
AC Milan has initiated talks with Arsenal officials in London to discuss potential transfers of defenders Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Serie A side is looking to strengthen their squad under new coach Massimiliano Allegri and sees the Arsenal duo as potential additions.
Zinchenko has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Theo Hernandez at left-back, with the France international reportedly in negotiations with Atletico Madrid.
The Ukraine international has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal, making just five Premier League starts last season.
Arsenal is expected to listen to offers for Zinchenko this summer, with Milan interested in signing him for below £15 million.
Kiwior is also high on Milan’s list, particularly if they need to replace Malick Thiaw, who is in talks to join Bayer Leverkusen. Milan’s emissary led the talks with Arsenal officials, discussing both players and potential deal structures, including salary packages that spread payments over several seasons.
The potential signings of Kiwior and Zinchenko would be a significant boost to Milan’s defense, providing fresh talent and experience to the team.
With Zinchenko’s contract running until 2026, Arsenal would need to be convinced by any offer made by Milan. The outcome of these talks remains to be seen, but Milan is clearly keen on strengthening their squad with Arsenal’s defenders.
