Bournemouth rejects Barcelona's two offers for Eli Junior Kroupi
Summary

FC Barcelona has made two offers for AFC Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, both under €100 million, in an attempt to secure a striker. Bournemouth has rejected these offers, insisting that Kroupi is not for sale, although Barcelona believes negotiations could still be possible. Kroupi, a 20-year-old French attacker, is regarded as a key target for Barcelona amid their ongoing pursuit of Julian Alvarez. The Catalan club is unlikely to intensify its efforts for Kroupi until the status of Alvarez is resolved, as they aim to finalize their squad for the upcoming season.
