17e5c6The name of the young French striker, Elie Junior Cropi, has returned to the top of Barcelona's interest during the summer transfer market, after the Catalan club's sports administration reopened the contract file for him, according to what was revealed by the Spanish newspaper Sport.
The report indicated that Cropi is one of the most prominent alternative options that Barcelona is considering, in the event that the deal to contract with Argentine Julian Alvarez falters, who still represents the club's first goal to strengthen its spearhead position.
The Alvarez deal appears complicated at the time. Currently, due to Atletico Madrid's adherence to the stay of its striker and its refusal to enter into any negotiations regarding his sale, despite previously reported reports about the player's desire to take on a new challenge and realize his dream of moving to Barcelona.
On the other hand, Karroubi continues to attract the interest of a number of European clubs, but Bournemouth does not show any intention of abandoning the services of its young striker during the current transfer period, in light of its conviction of his great potential.
Kroubi participated in 35 matches for Bournemouth. During last season, he scored 13 goals, and he has a contract with the English club that extends until the summer of 2030, while his market value is estimated at about 70 million euros.
Barcelona continues to study all available options to strengthen its offensive line, in anticipation of any stumble in the negotiations to include Julian Alvarez, with Karroubi remaining one of the most prominent names on the club’s table.
