PSV Eindhoven will reportedly demand around £35 million to part ways with 22-year-old USMNT international Ricardo Pepi amid his links with Fulham.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Ricardo Pepi is the subject of interest from Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the winter transfer window. So, the 22-year-old PSV Eindhoven centre-forward has emerged as a target for the West London outfit.
However, the Eredivisie champions do not want to part ways with the American striker, and they will demand around £35 million to consider a January exit. Additionally, Fulham must convince Pepi to push for a departure in the winter transfer window. So, the Premier League club will face a tall order to secure his services this month.
How has Ricardo Pepi fared at PSV Eindhoven?
Ricardo Pepi has established himself as one of the most dependable attackers in the Eredivisie since joining PSV Eindhoven from FC Augsburg in July 2023. The 22-year-old has made considerable progress in the last two and a half years, thus finally establishing a foothold at a top European club.
The USMNT international has been solid thus far in the 2025/26 season, scoring ten goals and providing two assists in 21 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Pepi’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Fulham will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the winter transfer window.
London calling?
Ricardo Pepi has been on Fulham’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest is understandable, as the Cottagers have been scouring the market for a striker heading into the winter transfer window, as Raul Jimenez is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his career. Additionally, Rodrigo Muniz has struggled with fitness issues in the 2025/26 season.
So, Fulham should sign a striker in the winter transfer window, with Pepi emerging as a viable target. Recent reports have revealed that the West London club failed with a bid worth £26 million to sign the American striker from PSV Eindhoven. However, while Fulham may return with an improved offer, a deal is not straightforward.
The Eredivisie champions do not want to part ways with Pepi, and they will demand around £35 million to consider a January departure. Additionally, Fulham must convince the 22-year-old USMNT international to push for a move in the winter transfer window. So, the Premier League club will face a tall order to secure his services this month after learning the two conditions to land him.
