PSV Reject Fulham’s £26m Bid for Ricardo Pepi as Cottagers Prepare Second Offer

PSV’s leverage from Pepi’s 2030 contract makes a sale unlikely without a fee that matches their valuation.

Overview

  • Fulham’s opening $33 million (£26m) proposal for the 22-year-old striker was turned down, according to multiple reports.
  • Reports say Fulham intend to return with an improved offer when the January window opens, with talks described as ongoing.
  • PSV face no urgency to sell because Pepi signed an extension through June 2030 earlier this year.
  • Coverage indicates PSV have set a firm price, with one report suggesting a valuation closer to £40m.
  • Pepi has produced 10 goals and two assists this season, and Fulham’s pursuit reflects concerns over depth with Raúl Jiménez nearing contract expiry and Rodrigo Muniz limited by injuries.
