Overview
- Bournemouth have told clubs they do not want to sell 19‑year‑old forward Eli Junior Kroupi this summer, sources reported on Friday.
- The club has effectively placed a reported £100m valuation on Kroupi, a figure that makes an immediate transfer unlikely for most interested teams.
- Kroupi scored 13 Premier League goals in 33 appearances in 2025–26, setting a club teenage debut record and drawing sustained interest from top English and European clubs.
- Incoming manager Marco Rose views Kroupi as a central part of his project and Bournemouth’s Europa League qualification gives the club a sporting reason to retain him for another season.
- Bournemouth accept a big sale is probable in coming years as interest grows, but their long contract with Kroupi to 2030 means clubs will likely continue to monitor him rather than force a move now.
