Fulham Pursues PSV Striker Ricardo Pepi with €32 Million Bid

Fulham has made a bid of €32 million ($38 million) for PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi, according to sources cited by ESPN.

The United States international has had a promising season, scoring eight goals in 15 Eredivisie appearances for PSV. However, he suffered a broken forearm in early January, which is expected to sideline him for two months.

Sources indicate that PSV is looking for a transfer fee closer to €35 million to part ways with the striker, who has been a key player for the club since joining in 2023. PSV head coach Peter Bosz expressed disappointment regarding Pepi’s injury, stating, “All signs were green for a strong second half of the season, so this is incredibly disappointing. First and foremost for him and obviously for us as well.”

At just 23 years old, Pepi began his career at FC Dallas and has also played for Augsburg and Groningen before making his way to PSV, where he has netted a total of 26 goals in 60 appearances, along with 13 goals in 34 matches for the US Men’s National Team.
