Arsenal have agreed deals for Jakub Kiwior and Albert Sambi Lokonga to leave the club, The Sporting News understands.
Polish defender Kiwior is set to join Porto on loan with an obligation to buy and the agreement will see Arsenal receive an initial €2 million (£1.7m / $2.2m) loan fee, while the buy clause is worth €17m (£14.5m / $18.5m).
With performance-related bonuses and a sell-on clause included, the Gunners could ultimately bank up to €27m (£23m / $29m) from the 25-year-old’s departure.
Kiwior arrived from Spezia in January 2023 but struggled to dislodge William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes from Arsenal's back line.
His move to Portugal will open the door for the arrival of Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, who is set to join Arsenal on loan with a €52m (£45m / $56m) option to buy.
Meanwhile, Lokonga is close to sealing a permanent switch to Hamburg after completing his medical on Saturday.

Lokonga joined from Anderlecht in 2021 but found consistent opportunities difficult under Mikel Arteta.
Loan spells at Crystal Palace and Luton Town provided experience, yet Arsenal have sanctioned his exit after telling the Belgium international he won't be given minutes this season.
Alongside the arrival of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £67.5m (€80m / $89m), Hincapie's deal is expected to be the next and final incoming player of a busy summer window at Emirates Stadium.
