Bournemouth Receive Concerning Update on PSG Transfer Target

PSG have leaned heavily into recruiting young French talent in recent years, bringing in players such as Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, and Lucas Chevalier. That youth-focused direction is expected to remain in place once the summer transfer window opens.

The strategy delivered strong results last season, helping PSG establish itself among Europe’s top sides. Barcola and Doué played important roles during the club’s UEFA Champions League triumph, strengthening belief in building around emerging talent.

With that success in mind, attention has shifted toward the next group of French prospects who could arrive in Paris. A recent report from Fichajes claims Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi is among the players drawing interest from PSG.

The latest information on this file comes from TEAMtalk, who report that PSG have stepped up their background checks on the forward ahead of the summer window.

“PSG already liked Kroupi at Lorient, and have maintained a watching brief. He is someone who they see as a good fit,” a well-placed source told TEAMtalk.

Moreover, the report mentions that Bournemouth are already taking steps to secure the player’s future. The club is preparing to open new contract discussions and intends to offer Kroupi a substantial salary increase that matches the expanding role in the team.

TEAMtalk also reports, citing sources, that the teenager is set to more than double his current wages should he commit to a new long‑term deal

CaughtOffside reports that Kroupi is emerging as a potential summer target for Liverpool, citing sources close to the agents industry. Chelsea, Real Madrid, and PSG are all reportedly keeping a close eye on his development.

The report also mentions that insiders at the club see the midfielder potentially becoming the Cherries’ first £70-80 million sale, a valuation fueled both by his talent and the limited supply of young, proven attackers in today’s market.
