Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Tottenham are among several Premier League clubs that have been closely monitoring the progress of 19-year-old French forward El Junior Kroupi. The form of El Junior Kroupi has also attracted the attention of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United. In response, Bournemouth now reportedly value the forward at around £80m. The club hopes this valuation will deter some interested parties. Bournemouth is also preparing to begin negotiations for a new contract that includes a significant pay increase. However, the strongest interest is understood to come from Paris Saint-Germain, which has reportedly intensified its background checks. PSG has been interested in Kroupi since he was at Lorient and considers him to be a suitable player for the club. Kroupi has 5 caps for France's U21 team. He joined Bournemouth from Lorient in February 2025 for a reported fee of €13m, and his current contract is valid until 2030. He has not scored in 8 Premier League appearances this season. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €22.00m.
