Real Madrid is interested in Eli Junior Kroupi, according to Téléfoot. It is reported that Bournemouth is not in a hurry to sell him and may consider extending his contract.

According to The Sun, Real Madrid are eager to sign Eli Junior Kroupi. Bournemouth have initiated talks with Kroupi’s representatives over a significant new deal in an attempt to deter any interested clubs. Kroupi is expected to cost €92m this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

Real Madrid are tracking 19-year-old French and Ivorian centre-forward Eli Junior Kroupi, following a season where he scored 8 goals in 20 Premier League appearances. Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool are also monitoring him. Both Real Madrid and Chelsea have sent scouts to regularly observe his development ahead of a potential move next summer. Insiders at Bournemouth believe Kroupi could become the club's first-ever £80 million player. Bournemouth, who signed the France U21 international from Lorient for £10 million in February 2025 after competition from clubs including West Ham, Tottenham, RB Leipzig, and Real Madrid, is reportedly in talks to offer him a new contract. His current deal expires in June 2030. His current Transfermarkt market value is €22.00m, while recent reports from February 2026 value him at over £40 million. Before his move to England, Lorient had reportedly rejected a €42 million bid from West Ham in February 2025.
