The talented young Frenchman has had a hugely impressive season in the Premier League this term, scoring 11 goals in 29 games.
Kroupi looks like he surely has a big future in the game, and it is our understanding that Liverpool and Chelsea are also among the 19-year-old’s main suitors ahead of the summer.
Still, according to the latest update from Sacha Tavolieri in his Sky column, Man City have now also been in contact over a potential deal as Pep Guardiola is a big fan of the player.
Eli Junior Kroupi looks set for big transfer this summer
It seems pretty clear now that Kroupi is going to have a lot of options available to him this summer, though it’s not yet clear if there’s one fully established favourite for his signature yet.
The youngster has developed well at Bournemouth and it looks like it’s going to be very hard for the Cherries to keep hold of him.
However, this is also a fairly standard development for the club, who have often cashed in on star names for a significant profit without letting standards drop.
Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez left last summer and Antoine Semenyo then moved to City in January, but Andoni Iraola’s side have continued to shine.
