Eli Junior Kroupi attracting interest from Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona

Eli Junior Kroupi remains on the radar of several leading European clubs despite currently being unavailable. The 20-year-old France international of Ivorian origin scored 13 Premier League goals for Bournemouth in an impressive season.

The forward’s performances have significantly increased his market value. Kroupi is under contract with Bournemouth until June 2030 and is valued at €70m by Transfermarkt.

Bournemouth are reportedly prepared to consider his departure only if they receive an exceptional offer. English media have suggested that a fee close to €90m could be required to persuade the club to sell.

Kroupi was already the subject of transfer interest during the last summer window, but a foot injury suffered during pre-season disrupted those discussions. He subsequently required surgery, temporarily ending the approaches from clubs interested in signing him.

Despite that setback, Arsenal and Tottenham continue to monitor the striker’s situation closely, according to The Sun. Paris Saint-Germain are also understood to be interested.

Barcelona have maintained a lower-profile stance, although Kroupi’s name is said to be discussed regularly within the Catalan club’s technical structure. A move in summer 2027 could be considered, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.

Kroupi earns an annual salary of €1,192,975, equivalent to 775,433,750 FCFA.

Bournemouth are due to face Chelsea in the sixth round of the English league season. The published 1xbet odds list Chelsea at 1.69 to win, a draw at 3.80 and Bournemouth at 3.60.
