Lyon has expressed interest in signing Eli Junior Kroupi, a promising young player from Lorient. Despite interest from other clubs, such as West Ham, whose €42 million bid was turned down, Lyon remains eager to secure Kroupi's signing. Lorient reportedly places high value on the player, anticipating that his value could increase to between €60-72 million in the upcoming summer transfer window. The teenager, who has netted 10 goals in 19 appearances for Lorient this season, is regarded as one of France's most promising young talents and is often likened to Neymar for his skill and flair.
