The Blaugrana are preparing to compete for Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who could make a move to La Liga this summer. The 19-year-old French forward has caught the eye of several top clubs, but Barcelona has officially entered the race.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona’s scouts have been monitoring Kroupi since his time at Lorient and have expressed admiration for his recent performances. However, the Catalan club faces significant competition from other Premier League teams, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, all of whom are also interested in acquiring the young forward.
Junior Kroupi has had a notable season with Bournemouth, featuring in 32 matches and scoring 12 goals. His market value is currently estimated at €40 million, according to Transfermarkt, and he is under contract with the “Cherries” until 2030.
