Eli Junior Kroupi is a special talent. The 19-year-old attacker broke the record for the most goals by a teenager in a debut Premier League season (13), beating Robbie Fowler and Robbie Keane’s previous milestone (12).
Kroupi’s strong performances have convinced Europe’s elite of his qualities, sparking interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Arsenal — all of whom have registered concrete inquiries with The Cherries.
Bayern Munich is another club that is highly interested in the attacking
talent, making contact with the south coast-based side as early as April.
According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, all sides are waiting for Bournemouth to indicate Kroupi’s price tag.
Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester City have all called recently to be informed on Eli Junior Kroupi.
FC Bayern did the same in April, all clubs waiting for Bournemouth to indicate price.
BFW Analysis
A 19-year-old Premier League attacker who has just broken a record that stood for 26 years — Kroupi’s signature is bound to come at a premium price tag.
Transfermarkt has the Frenchman’s value at €70m. In a somewhat regular market, that would be considered a fair valuation for one of the world’s most excited attacking talents. However, the market is far from regular, and after his exploits this season, Kroupi will likely cost upwards of €100m — likely too expensive for Bayern’s taste.
Money aside, timing may align perfectly to acquire the 19-year-old’s signature. Harry Kane has one year left on his contract. Should he decide against an extension, Bayern will be in the market for a starting caliber striker. This could provide the perfect chance for Die Rekordmeister to swoop in for Kroupi — should he choose to sharpen his skills and remain with Bournemouth another season.
How much do you think Eli Junior Kroupi is worth? What do you think Bournemouth’s valuation will be?
