The Poland international joined Porto on loan from Arsenal last summer, and Record report that the Dragons will activate the clause before the end of May.
According to the same outlet, Kiwior will then sign a contract running to 2030, ending his Arsenal career after a spell in which he never quite became a secure first-choice option in north London.
The deal is expected to be worth âŹ17m, plus âŹ5m in add-ons, after Porto paid âŹ2m to take him on loan until 30 June.
The agreement covers the full rights to the centre-back, while Arsenal are also understood to retain a sell-on clause if Porto sell him in future, something they could do sooner rather than later.
Despite how well his loan has gone, we reported at the start of April that there was the possibility that Porto could resell him immediately for a quick profit.
