As “fussballtransfers.com” reports, Eli Kroupi Junior is in the sights of RB Leipzig. Accordingly, no discussions have yet taken place between those responsible for Saxony and the players. However, it is certainly possible that contact will be made in the near future.

Eli Kroupi Junior compared to Kylian Mbappé
In France, Kroupi Junior is already being compared to Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé. “He’s a phenomenon. He reminds me a little of Kylian Mbappé in his playing maturity,” said his former teammate Tiemoué Bakayoko around a year ago.
The defensive midfielder continued to rave highly about Kroupi Junior: “He does everything very quickly. He already has good stats for a young person of his age. He’s incredible. We have to protect him. We have to give him time to play a little harder “But if he continues like this, we will have a future Kylian Mbappé.”
Around a year ago, the storm jewel was already linked to a change. According to the Spanish radio station “Cadena SER”, Real Madrid is said to have put out feelers. FC Barcelona is also said to have already signaled interest.
