Foot Mercato reported the valuation, which is widely interpreted as a deterrent figure designed to ward off clubs rather than encourage a sale — particularly given that Kroupi's former manager Andoni Iraola, now at Liverpool, had been expected to make the teenager one of his first transfer targets at Anfield.
Iraola spoke warmly about Kroupi in April, before his own departure was confirmed, in terms that suggested a strong belief in his development at Bournemouth specifically.
"Junior has been a big challenge for me this season, one of the biggest challenges because we noticed straightaway that he has special things. His finishing is top for me. But we had to work a lot with him — he has to do a lot of work that he wasn't used to in order to win his minutes. He has become a much better player for me."
He identified the club as the right environment for his continued growth.
"He's still very young and has just arrived into the Premier League and it's his first season. I think this is the best place for him to continue his evolution. He has a high ceiling."
Kroupi joined Bournemouth from Lorient last summer for £10m and has repaid that fee many times over in terms of market value within a single campaign. The French forward is understood to have a preference for a return to Ligue 1, which PSG could satisfy, though the scale of the asking price makes any deal complex.
