Augsburg could profit from PSV Eindhoven's sale of Pepi

Kicker.de is reporting that FC Augsburg could stand to profit from PSV Eindhoven's sale of their former player Ricardo Pepi.

Coming off the back of a 16-goal season in 26 games, the USA international is one of the most sought after strikers in Europe.

Apparently the 23-year-old was on the cusp of a €40million move to Fulham FC, but the deal fell through at the last minute.

Now, in addition to the Cottagers from London, another unnamed Premier League side is considering making a bid for him.

Furthermore, a Bundesliga club "that could afford a high transfer fee" is said to be interested in the young marksman.

If a deal is reached, Augsburg would benefit from a transfer due to a sell-on clause, more or less recouping their expenses for Pepi. 

PSV had already paid the Bavarian club €11million in 2023, and a summer transfer is expected to add another €5 to €7 million.
