"Fulham have now returned to finalise a move for the United States international, who is expected to sign a contract until 2031 at Craven Cottage. Pepi would join the Cottagers in the summer, with striker Raul Jimenez out of contract at the end of the season."
"Pepi is expected to complete the move after the 2026 World Cup, when he is likely to feature for the USA who, along with Canada and Mexico, are co-hosts of the tournament."
"Pepi has scored 13 goals in 29 appearances this season, including three in five Champions League matches. Having started his career in his native Texas, Pepi moved to German club Augsburg in 2022, immediately joining FC Groningen on loan in the Netherlands before earning a permanent move to PSV."
Fulham is closing in on acquiring PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi for £28.5 million. The 23-year-old United States international has arrived in London for a medical. Fulham previously attempted to sign Pepi in January, but PSV retained him due to difficulty finding a replacement. The move will be completed after the 2026 World Cup, where Pepi is expected to represent the USA. Pepi will sign a contract until 2031 and join as Raul Jimenez departs. This season, Pepi has scored 13 goals in 29 appearances for PSV, including three Champions League goals. Fulham currently sits 11th in the Premier League.
