The Catalan club considered the Frenchman last summer as an alternative to Julian Alvarez, but Bournemouth’s valuation and the forward’s injury complicated their plans. Kroupi, 20, is now moving closer to a return after suffering a metatarsal fracture in July.
He has resumed on-pitch training following several months of rehabilitation, giving him an opportunity to rebuild his fitness and regain the form that attracted Barcelona’s attention.
