Eli Junior Kroupi, currently holding the highest market value in Ligue 2, is attracting interest from RB Leipzig. Kroupi has been in outstanding form, having scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in 12 matches this season. Although his contract with FC Lorient extends until 2026, he has turned down a contract extension offer from the club. Arnaud Tanguy, the general manager of FC Lorient, disclosed in an interview with Ouest-France that the club had made two extension offers and is considering the possibility of selling him, while still allowing him to remain for the rest of the season.
