Another significant factor that could tilt the scales in favour of a transfer is the player’s representation. For several months, Kroupi has been represented by Moussa Sissoko, an influential agent who already maintains strong, well-established ties with the Paris hierarchy. Sissoko currently manages the interests of several high-profile stars at the club, including Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, Randal Kolo Muani and Dembele himself.
These positive existing relationships will undoubtedly smoothen any potential negotiations if sporting advisor Luis Campos decides to accelerate efforts to sign the prodigy. Although extracting him from a lucrative English environment will be difficult, the French heavyweights possess both the financial muscle and the compelling sporting arguments necessary to finalise this ambitious acquisition.
