"Fulham have had an offer in the region of €40 million ($46m) accepted by PSV Eindhoven and personal terms are not understood to be an issue. The move is pending a medical. Fulham have been longstanding admirers of the PSV striker, and ESPN reported the Premier League submitted a bid for him in January."
"The deal represents a huge profit for PSV, who spent €11m to sign Pepi from Augsburg in 2023. Since then he has established himself as one of the most lethal finishers in the Eredivisie and is set to be a key part of the USMNT's plans for this summer's World Cup."
"Pepi suffered a broken arm in early January, but has scored twice in his four appearances since making his comeback. Overall this season he has been lethal in front of goal, and has scored 13 in 27 appearances in all competitions."
Ricardo Pepi, a 23-year-old USMNT forward, is near completion of a transfer to Fulham from PSV Eindhoven for around €40 million. Fulham's offer has been accepted by PSV, with personal terms not presenting obstacles. The deal awaits medical clearance. Fulham previously attempted to sign Pepi in January but faced valuation disagreements and PSV's need for a replacement. PSV acquired Pepi from Augsburg for €11 million in 2023, making this transfer highly profitable. This season, Pepi has scored 13 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions. Despite a broken arm in January, he has scored twice in four recent appearances. Pepi is included in Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT squad for upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Portugal.
