Paris Saint-Germain are in the market for a new striker this summer, but their interest in Eli Junior Kroupi appears to have fizzled out for a surprising reason—one connected to Ousmane Dembélé.

With Gonçalo Ramos departing for AC Milan, the French capital club had set their sights on the 20-year-old forward. However, Kroupi has reportedly opted against joining the Ligue 1 giants, citing concerns over limited playing opportunities behind Dembélé and other established names in the squad.

Why Kroupi chose Tottenham over PSG

The young attacker, who transitioned from FC Lorient to Bournemouth last season, is determined to secure regular first-team football to accelerate his development. Tottenham has emerged as a more attractive destination, promising the minutes he believes he needs to thrive.

PSG pivots to another target

Unfazed by Kroupi’s decision, PSG has already turned its attention to another potential signing. Reports indicate the club has reached a personal agreement with Ferran Torres, whose profile aligns with manager Luis Enrique’s vision. The next hurdle? Securing a deal with FC Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
