Fulham are preparing a formal offer for PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi to reignite their interest in him.
That’s according to Eindhovens Dagblad. They report that Fulham are preparing another attempt to sign the striker from the Dutch side.
According to their information, Fulham were already interested in Pepi last season. They’ve been following his development with great interest since.
Now they’re preparing a formal offer for the January transfer window. That is expected to be worth €30-35m. Whether PSV would accept such a bid isn’t clear at this point.
On one hand, a no thank you would be logical. They’re not all that keen on selling their striker in the middle of a campaign which may end with another league title. Pepi has been key to that in recent weeks, with four goals in five games.
He appears to have shaken off injury issues and is completely ready to return to the level he was at before his injury. He also appears to be winning the confidence of manager Peter Bosz. Selling him now would make little sense, even if Fulham do offer a top price.
Pepi may also fancy staying. He would prefer to be playing regularly in the Netherlands and scoring goals to ensure a place in the USA’s squad for the World Cup. They can also offer Champions League football, another boost. Fulham appear ready to make an offer to sway that thinking either way.
