Overview
- Bournemouth told Eli Junior Kroupi and other key players on Monday that they will not be allowed to leave this summer, according to club sources.
- Tottenham remain Kroupi’s leading suitor and say they are hopeful of persuading Bournemouth, but they have not made a formal offer and are working on alternative young strikers.
- Media estimates place Kroupi’s value around £85m–£100m this window while Bournemouth expect his price to rise further by 2027 if they continue to hold him.
- Kroupi scored 13 Premier League goals last season and is under contract at Bournemouth until 2030, giving the club clear leverage to refuse a sale without their consent.
- Bournemouth’s recent high-fee sales and the absence of active release clauses in key contracts have allowed ownership to enforce a hold policy as the club readies for European football.
