PSV Eindhoven attacking mainstay Ricardo Pepi is reportedly on the verge of joining Fulham in a deal worth €37 million.
Ricardo Pepi has only gone from strength to strength since joining PSV Eindhoven. His impressive performances in the final third have not gone unnoticed. While multiple top clubs have been linked with him, Fulham are on the verge of securing his services.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fulham have reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven to sign the 23-year-old striker. Both parties have agreed on a €37 million package for the American international. The player has already agreed on personal terms, but there is still one final step to go.
Ricardo Pepi joined the Dutch club in the summer of 2023 from Augsburg, and he hasn’t looked back since. So far, he has featured in 90 matches for PSV and has contributed towards 45 goals. In the ongoing campaign, the American striker has been involved in 22 matches, and he has bagged 11 goals and two assists.
Fulham are on the verge of signing Pepi
The American international’s performances have placed him on the radar of multiple top clubs, but it seems Fulham have managed to beat the competition to his signature. While Ricardo Pepi’s contract at PSV Eindhoven runs until the summer of 2030, the Cottagers have struck a deal with the Dutch club.
The West London outfit are ready to fork out €37 million in total to land the 23-year-old on the final day of the winter transfer window. Personal terms have already been sorted with the young striker. Marco Silva will be absolutely delighted by this signing, as he was desperate for a new striker with Rodrigo Muniz out injured, while Raul Jimenez is in the final phase of his career.
Ricardo Pepi will not only add much-needed firepower to their attack but will also become one of their mainstays in the long run. However, the move is not yet complete, as one final step is left. PSV will only sanction his departure once they sign a replacement. Once the Eredivisie giants bring in someone to take his place in the team, they will allow him to travel for his medical.
