Liverpool can have Premier League breakout star for £60m Liverpool are in the market for a new forward. Last summer around £200m went on new strikers - including a British record deal for Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike also came on board. But it’s been a season to forget for Liverpool’s new strike force.
Isak, 26, has spent much of the season injured while Ekitike is currently on the sidelines with a ruptured achilles. Accordingly it’s been reported that sporting director Richard Hughes is ready to enter the market for a new No9 at the end of the season. It would be unwise to rely just on Isak as a senior option next season - given the scale of the £125m man’s injury issues.
That means acquiring a top-quality forward becomes a priority for the Premier League champions’ sporting director. Eli Junior Kroupi available for £60m And one name in the frame to arrive is Eli Junior Kroupi of Hughes’ former club Bournemouth. The Frenchman has been the breakout star of his top-flight campaign - weighing in with 12 goals and putting himself in the shop window .
A report from Sports Boom now claims that the Cherries would be ready to discuss a deal at around £60m for the France under-21 forward . Liverpool will be right there for his signature but face competition from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea as well as Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid for Kroupi according to the report. “Bournemouth is expected to open the door for the young striker in the €60 million to €70 million bracket,” the report reads.
