Barcelona targets Bournemouth's Junior Kroupi amid Alvarez pursuit

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.
