The Paris Saint-Germain is currently navigating a dynamic transfer market phase, actively seeking reinforcements upfront following Gonçalo Ramos’ departure. Among the potential targets discussed was Eli Junior Kroupi, the young Bournemouth striker. However, the 20-year-old French international has reportedly shifted his focus elsewhere, and the reason directly involves Ousmane Dembélé.
Kroupi prioritizes guaranteed playing time over PSG move
According to insider reports, Eli Junior Kroupi has made it clear that he is unwilling to join Paris Saint-Germain unless he is assured of a starting role. The Lorient academy graduate feels that competing for minutes behind established stars like Ousmane Dembélé in Ligue 1 would hinder his development. Instead, he has set his sights on Tottenham Hotspur, where he believes he can secure regular first-team action and continue his upward trajectory.
PSG pivots to Ferran Torres amid Kroupi’s decision
While Kroupi’s rejection stings, the Paris club has already pivoted toward another offensive target. Club officials have reportedly reached a personal agreement with Ferran Torres, the Spanish winger. Luis Enrique favors Torres’ profile and is keen to integrate him into the PSG squad. The next hurdle will be finalizing a deal with Barcelona before the transfer window closes. The saga remains unresolved and will be closely monitored as summer deadlines approach.
