Ricardo Pepi is nearing a transfer from PSV Eindhoven to Fulham, with the Premier League club agreeing to a €40 million ($46 million) fee for the 23-year-old forward, according to ESPN sources. PSV, who paid just €11 million to sign Pepi from Augsburg in 2023, stand to make a substantial profit. The move, pending medical clearance, follows Fulham's long-standing interest in the prolific striker, who has been a key figure for the USMNT since his 2021 debut.

Pepi has scored 13 goals in 34 appearances for the United States, including crucial contributions to their World Cup qualification campaign. His recent return from a January arm injury has seen him score twice in four games, demonstrating his lethal finishing form in the Eredivisie this season. The transfer aligns with Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT squad selection, which includes Pepi for upcoming friendlies, positioning him as a vital asset for this summer's World Cup in the United States and Mexico.

Fulham's pursuit represents a significant coup, potentially strengthening their attack ahead of a competitive Premier League campaign.
