Eli Junior Kroupi targeted by Barcelona, Arsenal, and Tottenham

Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi has become a primary transfer target for several major European clubs as he nears a return from a significant foot injury. Barcelona previously made two offers for the 20-year-old Frenchman during the summer, both of which were rejected by Bournemouth. The Catalan club remains interested, viewing Kroupi as a fit for Hansi Flick’s tactical system following a shift in focus away from Julian Alvarez.

Bournemouth is reportedly demanding between €90 million and €100 million for the player, who is under contract until June 2030. In addition to Barcelona, English Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring his progress. Kroupi is expected to return to action around early November after undergoing surgery for a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. His market value rose to approximately €70 million following a productive season where he scored 13 goals in 33 matches.
