Speziaโ€™s Jakub Kiwior close to Milan transfer after rejecting Premier League club in summer

Milan have been looking to strengthen their central defence for a long time, with Speziaโ€™s Jakub Kiwior emerging as a potential candidate to join the Rossoneri sooner rather than later.ย 

According to journalist Santi Aouna, Spezia defender Jakub Kiwior is closing in on becoming a Milan player.

After rejecting an offer from West Ham United in the summer transfer window, the Polish centre-half seems interested in joining hands with the Rossoneri.

The Milan-based side has already begun negotiations with Spezia over the potential capture of the 22-year-old, who remains bound to Speziaโ€™s terms until June 2025.

Milan might need to shell out a transfer fee of around โ‚ฌ18 million to land the defender. Meanwhile, the interested party is working on reaching an agreement over the playerโ€™s terms. It is understood that the negotiations with his entourage have reached an advanced stage and will be closed soon.

The Rossoneri wanted to bring in a defender in the last summer transfer window but could not push for a particular target after facing setbacks in the chase of Sven Botman, who ended up joining Newcastle United.
