UMVA has learned that highly sought-after young footballer Eli Junior Kroupi has expressed a strong preference to join Paris Saint-Germain over other top European clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea.
The 19-year-old sensation, who became the first teenager to score 13 goals in his debut Premier League season with Bournemouth, has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. However, Kroupi's heart seems to be set on a move to PSG.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Bournemouth's initial asking price for Kroupi is a staggering €100m (£86.3m), a sum that reflects the young player's immense talent and potential. Manchester City has already held discussions over a potential move for Kroupi this summer.
Kroupi's impressive debut season has drawn comparisons to other top young players in the Premier League. He joins the likes of Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, and Romelu Lukaku, who all made significant impacts in the league as teenagers.
Despite the interest from several top clubs, Kroupi's former manager Andoni Iraola urged him to stay at Bournemouth for another season, praising his development and work rate. Iraola believes Kroupi has a high ceiling and that Bournemouth is the best place for him to continue his evolution as a player.
However, it seems Kroupi's mind is made up, and he is keen to take the next step in his career with PSG. The French club's allure and reputation for developing young talent may be too great for Kroupi to resist.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Kroupi's future is set to be a major talking point. With several top clubs vying for his signature, it's clear that this young player's career is about to take a significant leap forward.
