Mateusz Borek reported that if FC Porto had not qualified for the Champions League, 26-year-old Polish international centre-back Jakub Kiwior would most likely have been sold in the summer for financial reasons. Borek said that in such a scenario, the club would have looked for a potential buyer for Jakub Kiwior because it would have been difficult to keep him. Borek also stated there was a conversation with Jakub Kiwior's agent, who is apparently in a high salary position. Kiwior joined FC Porto in July 2026 on a contract that runs until 2030 and has 45 caps and 2 goals for Poland. Juventus and FC Barcelona were among the clubs linked with him during the summer. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €35.00m.
