Barcelona is reportedly shifting its focus to Bournemouth's Junior Kroupi as the Summer transfer window opens. After an unsuccessful pursuit of Julian Alvarez, which saw Real Madrid make a rejected €150 million offer, Barcelona aims to secure the 19-year-old Kroupi, who recently completed a breakout season in the Premier League with 13 goals. This shift in interest comes as various clubs are also monitoring Kroupi's situation, including Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona's initial transfer hopes included Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella, but only Anthony Gordon was acquired for €70 million.
