Fulham’s Deadline-Day Push for Ricardo Pepi Falls Through as PSV Keep Striker

PSV kept the injured US forward after failing to line up a replacement.

Overview

  • PSV rejected Fulham’s reported second bid of €32 million, so Pepi will remain in Eindhoven for the rest of the season.
  • Pepi is sidelined with a broken forearm and is expected to be out until at least March.
  • The 23-year-old has scored eight goals in 15 appearances this season for the Eredivisie leaders.
  • PSV hold leverage with Pepi under contract through June 2030 following an extension signed last year.
  • Fulham pursued a longer-term No. 9 due to Raúl Jiménez’s age and contract situation and Rodrigo Muniz’s injury, with reports indicating the club may revisit Pepi in the summer.
