Fulham Pursues Ricardo Pepi Amidst Setbacks

Fulham remains undeterred in its pursuit of Ricardo Pepi, despite PSV’s firm stance against selling the American striker this winter. The Premier League club is reportedly preparing to return to Eindhoven with a new offer. Interestingly, Pepi’s recent arm fracture may influence negotiations, potentially leading to a reduced price.

Fulham’s interest in Pepi is well-documented, having previously had a bid between €25 million and €30 million turned down by PSV’s technical director, Earnest Stewart. Nevertheless, sources from SoccerNews indicate that the club is not backing down and is contemplating a second attempt to secure the player. So far this season, Pepi has made a significant impact with eleven goals and three assists.

In addition to Pepi, Fulham is also considering Troy Parrott, as reported by The Independent. The Irish striker has attracted interest from VfL Wolfsburg and Real Betis, with the German club reportedly prepared to offer €20 million for the AZ forward. Currently, it remains unclear whether AZ will entertain the idea of letting Parrott leave in the winter transfer window.
