After retaining their UEFA Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain are looking to strengthen this summer and they have turned their focus towards AFC Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi (19), as per a report from L’Équipe.
Following his move from FC Lorient, Kroupi has excelled. In his debut season in the Premier League, he netted 13 league goals, a record for a teenager in their debut season in England’s top flight. Bournemouth have publicly stated that they will not let go of the Frenchman without a fight.

However, retaining the France U21 international could prove difficult as interest grows. Arsenal have already been touted as suitors and now PSG have joined the race. Despite winning the UCL, PSG are looking to strengthen during the summer transfer window.
Multiple targets have been cited, including Julian Alvarez, Yan Diomande, and Maghnes Akliouche. Kroupi is the latest option to emerge and the Frenchman, under contract with Bournemouth until 2030, has the ambition of playing for an elite European side in the short or medium term. Luis Enrique is a fan of the French forward.
Alongside talks to sign Diomande, there are also now talks to sign Kroupi.
