Barcelona may pursue Kroupi again after two bids for striker

Summary

Barcelona is considering a renewed interest in Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi for the summer of 2027. The club had two bids rejected last summer, as Kroupi's valuation exceeded €100 million. Following a metatarsal fracture, Kroupi is nearing a return to full fitness, having resumed on-pitch training. His upcoming performances will play a crucial role in determining if Barcelona will prioritize a move for him depending on their attacking needs and his recovery progress.
