There is a perception that Arsenal may be at a disadvantage compared to PSG in the potential signing of Eli Kroupi. PSG's interest in Kroupi is linked to uncertainty surrounding the future of Goncalo Ramos, amid speculation that Ramos is expected to leave the club in the summer. It is thought that Kroupi's decision to begin working with Moussa Sissoko is a significant hint that he could move sooner than Bournemouth may have anticipated.

Paris Saint-Germain are tracking Eli Junior Kroupi, a 19-year-old French centre-forward at Bournemouth. The French club's transfer advisor, Luis Campos, has reportedly held preliminary talks to register his interest in the France Under-21 international, who has scored 8 goals in 19 Premier League appearances this season. Campos wishes to sign Kroupi this summer and would help finance the transfer by selling Goncalo Ramos. Kroupi joined Bournemouth in February 2025 and has a contract with the club until 2030. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €22.00m. Arsenal have also been associated with the striker. In February 2026, reports valued the player at over £40m. He had moved to Bournemouth from Lorient a year earlier for a fee reported to be €13 million.
