Barcelona could revisit interest in 20-year-old Premier League forward Eli Junior Kroupi in 2027, following two rejected bids for the player, according to a report by SPORT. The Catalan club evaluated Kroupi as a potential long-term option for their attack during the summer of 2027. However, Bournemouth valued the French striker at over €100 million, making the proposed bids unfeasible.
Kroupi experienced a metatarsal fracture in July, which hampered his progress and the club's assessment of his potential. He has since resumed training and is nearing the end of his rehabilitation, offering a chance to regain fitness and restore his performance. Barcelona's current attacking options, such as Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez, may also impact their decision to pursue Kroupi again.
