E. Kroupi Transfer from AFC Bournemouth to Manchester City

Several top Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United, are aware of French and Ivorian forward Eli Junior Kroupi’s form and are monitoring developments. Newcastle, Tottenham, and Aston Villa have also been monitoring his progress closely. It is understood that Paris Saint-Germain have the most significant interest. They have also reportedly intensified their background checks on the forward. Paris Saint-Germain's interest in Kroupi began during his time at Lorient. It is understood that his current club, Bournemouth, values the 19-year-old at approximately £80m. Bournemouth are confident they can keep the player and are preparing to begin negotiations for a new contract that includes a substantial pay increase. The club hopes its high valuation will deter some of the interested clubs. Kroupi, who is a France U21 international, joined Bournemouth from Lorient in February 2025 for a transfer fee reported to be €13m. His current contract is valid until June 2030. This season, he has made eight Premier League appearances and provided three assists. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €22.00m.
