Eli Junior Kroupi attracts Arsenal

Arsenal are closely following French striker Éli Junior Kroupi, 19, who is shining at Bournemouth with 11 goals in 29 Premier League games this season, we can read in the media across the Channel. The Bleuets player, who can play number 9 or second striker, scored notably against the Gunners, home and away, which increased interest. While Trossard, Martinelli and Jesus could leave this summer, Arsenal are looking for young offensive profiles, capable of having an immediate impact, which corresponds to Kroupi’s profile. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in good financial shape and Kroupi’s contract runs until 2030, meaning the club will ask for a significant sum and will only sell on those terms.

Inter Milan interested in Nico Paz

Nico Paz, 21, has become one of the big names in the Madrid transfer window thanks to his excellent season in Como, with 13 goals and 8 assists in 38 games. Real Madrid have already decided to activate his buyout clause of around 9 million euros, with the intention of bringing him back to Valdebebas for the 2026‑2027 season. Despite this, Inter Milan are following him very closely and placing him as a priority, hoping to be able to recruit him if the next Real coach does not include him in his plans. Inter knows that extracting Paz from Madrid will be almost impossible, but is preparing a possible offer in order to position itself in case Real lets him leave.

OM’s final European sprint begins

In Marseille, The Team title “Match ball”. OM find themselves on the brink of the abyss, 6th, four points from the podium, three days from the end, with the obligation to win their last three matches if they want to believe in qualifying for the Champions League. Habib Beye refuses to let him sink and believes in flawless results. And it starts with a trip to Nantes, 17th which is playing the last chance match for maintenance. The Marseille club is experiencing a chaotic end to the season, marked by a painful elimination in the Cup, a fall in the standings, as well as departures from management. Deprived of the support of its supporters at Beaujoire, Marseille will rely on the return of certain leaders and hope to relaunch one last positive dynamic in the race for the Champions League.
