Bournemouth forward Eli Kroupi is being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, with the Ligue 1 champions reportedly monitoring the 19-year-old’s situation on the south coast.
The France and Côte d’Ivoire eligible striker, currently valued at €22.00m, is the subject of growing speculation over a switch from the Premier League to Ligue 1, according to data collated on 10 February 2026. The probability of any move is not yet defined, with the report listing the likelihood only as “?”. There is also no publicly available contract end date at Bournemouth, raising the prospect that Kroupi could become a free agent further down the line if no new deal is agreed.
Kroupi joined Bournemouth from FC Lorient during the 2024-25 season before briefly returning to the French club on loan in February 2025, then heading back to the Cherries at the end of that spell. His rapid rise is reflected in his market value history, climbing from €400,000 at Lorient B in June 2023 to €22.00m at Bournemouth by December 2025.
Born in Lorient on 23 June 2006, the 1.79m right-footed centre-forward came through the ranks at FC Lorient U17, Lorient B and then the senior side in Ligue 1, giving PSG ample first-hand evidence of his development in French football before his move to England.
Most recently, on 10 February 2026, Bournemouth’s internal data update coincided with further attention on Kroupi’s performances, though specific match statistics beyond that timestamp are not detailed in the available information. The rumour nevertheless places him firmly on PSG’s radar as they continue to refresh their attacking options.
Should a deal eventually materialise, a return to France with one of Europe’s biggest clubs could mark a defining step in Kroupi’s career, offering a platform to enhance his reputation and fully test his potential at the highest level.
