PSV Halts Ricardo Pepi’s Move to Fulham Over Liability Dispute

A late disagreement over when responsibility would shift prompted PSV to pause the process for now.

Overview

  • PSV sporting director Earnie Stewart said no agreement was reached on the moment club responsibility for Pepi would transfer.
  • Fulham sought protections to withdraw if Pepi suffered an injury before the summer window, a condition PSV would not accept.
  • The framework of a deal worth roughly €36–40m ($42–46m; about £31m) had been in place, and Pepi completed a medical in London.
  • Sources indicate the proposed transfer is on hold rather than dead, with the possibility of talks resuming in the summer.
  • Pepi remains with PSV, in form with 13 goals this season, and he has been called into the USMNT squad for friendlies against Belgium and Portugal.
