E. Kroupi

In summer 2026, reports consistently stated AFC Bournemouth demanded at least €100 million, with some suggesting a fee well in excess of £100m (~€118m) would be required. In July 2026, Barcelona reportedly had two bids of less than €100 million rejected, while Tottenham were said to have proposed €100 million or were preparing bids between £75m-£85m (~€88m-€100m). Earlier in 2026, valuations fluctuated, with reports mentioning ranges from £55m-£60m (~€65m-€71m) up to a deterrent price of £80m-£100m (~€94m-€118m). Transfermarkt's valuation reportedly rose from €22m to €70m during this period. For historical context, Kroupi's transfer from Lorient to Bournemouth in February 2025 was for a reported €13 million.

Our valuation for Eli Junior Kroupi is driven by AFC Bournemouth's extremely firm 'not for sale' stance and the consistent reporting of a minimum €100 million fee required to enter negotiations. This high price is supported by widespread interest from elite clubs including PSG, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Tottenham, a long-term contract, and his strong performance in the Premier League. The player's recent significant injury introduces some uncertainty, preventing a higher confidence level.
