Liverpool are being linked with a move for Bournemouth forward Eli Kroupi as the Premier League club reportedly monitor the teenager’s rapid rise in England.
Transfer data compiled on 10 February 2026 lists the 19-year-old as a rumoured target for Liverpool, with the France and Côte d’Ivoire-eligible striker currently valued at €22.00m. The mooted switch would be an intra-Premier League move from Bournemouth, where Kroupi wears the No 22 shirt, to Anfield. A specific probability for the transfer is not given in the report, underlining that talks – if any – are at an early and speculative stage.
Kroupi only joined Bournemouth from FC Lorient during the 2024-25 season, before briefly returning to the French club on loan. His permanent move to the south coast was followed by a sharp rise in market value, climbing to €22.00m by December 2025 after an impressive adaptation to English football. Data does not specify the length of his current Bournemouth deal, leaving open the theoretical possibility that contract developments could affect his medium‑term future and even raise questions over his status if no agreement is reached.
The centre-forward, born in Lorient on 23 June 2006, came through the ranks at FC Lorient U17 and FC Lorient B before breaking into the first team in Ligue 1. That progression has seen him gain experience in both France’s top flight and the Premier League while operating primarily through the middle of the attack and favouring his right foot.
No recent match-by-match breakdown is provided in the available data, but Kroupi’s trajectory is reflected in his valuation history, which rose from €400,000 at Lorient B in June 2023 to €15m with Lorient in mid‑2025 before his move to Bournemouth.
If Liverpool do formalise their interest, any transfer could mark the next major step in Kroupi’s career, offering a platform that might accelerate his development, elevate his reputation across Europe and shape his long‑term potential at the highest level.
