Barcelona Eye Bournemouth Striker Kroupi as Álvarez Alternative
Barcelona are exploring more affordable options after a deal for Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid appeared increasingly unlikely. The Catalan club's technical department has highlighted Bournemouth's 20-year-old French striker Eli Junior Kroupi as a serious candidate.
Of Ivorian descent, Kroupi has scored 13 league goals in the Premier League and already represents France at the U21 level. Valued at €70 million, the forward has been on Barcelona's radar since his earlier days at Lorient.
