"Fulham and PSV were close to agreeing on a fee in the region of €37 million for the USMNT striker, but the deal was contingent on PSV finding a replacement, according to sources. With the transfer deadline ticking ever closer, PSV pulled the plug on the deal as they were unable to find a suitable candidate to fill Pepi's shoes."
"The Premier League side has already recruited Oscar Bobb this window, and was keen to add the young striker as well. Pepi, 23, has been in fantastic form for PSV this season, scoring eight goals in 15 Eredivisie matches. He is seen as an ideal target to bolster Fulham's forward options, though he is out currently with a broken forearm."
Fulham nearly signed United States striker Ricardo Pepi in January, with PSV and Fulham close to agreeing around €37 million before the move collapsed because PSV could not secure a replacement before the deadline. Fulham signed Oscar Bobb during the window but remained interested in strengthening their attack with Pepi, who has scored eight goals in 15 Eredivisie matches this season and has 26 goals in 60 club games for PSV. Pepi is currently sidelined with a broken forearm. The player also has 13 goals in 34 appearances for the United States national team. Fulham intend to revisit the transfer in the summer.
