Barcelona target Eli Junior Kroupi has made clear his ambition to play for one of Europe's biggest clubs, potentially strengthening the Catalan side's interest in the Bournemouth forward ahead of future transfer windows.
The 20-year-old has acknowledged his desire to reach the highest level while insisting that his immediate priority remains performing for Bournemouth following his return from a foot injury.
Speaking to DAZN France, Kroupi discussed his long-term ambitions and his commitment to his current club.
Barcelona previously explored the possibility of signing the Frenchman as they assessed alternatives for their centre-forward position, although his reported valuation of more than €100 million made a deal difficult.
