Looks like my prediction from a day ago might be coming true.
According to Fabrizio, Barcelona have made direct contact with Kroupi’s representatives. The 2006-born striker, who can also play on the wing, is valued at €70 million and enjoyed a solid season with Bournemouth, scoring 13 goals.
Bournemouth are reportedly demanding more than €100 million. I’m not sure if that’s excessive, but Kroupi is an excellent player and a very good option if the Álvarez deal ultimately falls through.
🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona have explored Eli Junior Kroupi as option over recent weeks in case Julián Álvarez deal doesn’t advance.
Manchester City also asked for infos on Kroupi this month.
Bournemouth want to keep him and insist on no plans to sell. 🍒
