Duran Saga Finally at an End With 77M Saudi Switch. And now, transfer ITK Romano has revealed that the Hammers have made a surprise €25m bid for the in-form striker.
Pepi has scored 11 goals in 18 Eredivisie games—despite only being named in the starting lineup five times and primarily playing as a substitute. Despite limited game time, his goal tally is the second-highest in Holland.
The former Dallas frontman was named MLS young player of the year in 2021 and has joint US & Mexican citizenship.
Posting on social media, Romano Wrote: “West Ham submit official bid for USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi worth €25m package, loan with obligation to buy. Understand PSV Eindhoven have rejected the proposal.”
If true, it suggests that the club have been keeping certain transfer business very much under wraps, moving for a player who hasn’t featured prominently in the gossip columns this month.
