The latest Ricardo Pepi transfer news has revealed that Milan are interested in signing the PSV Eindhoven and USMNT striker.
New head coach Max Allegri is overseeing a summer overhaul at the San Siro. He has already seen star midfielder Tijjani Reijnders leave for Man City and Pierre Kalulu sign for Juventus on a permanent basis.
The futures of Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic are also uncertain at this stage. However, if both players were to leave, Allegri would have plenty of cash to replenish his roster.
FootItalia sources have confirmed that Pepi is high on the Rossoneri’s list. However, they’ll likely face plenty of competition from clubs all over the continent for his signature.

Therefore, his exit would further the need for Max Allegri to reinforce his attack. Especially if Rafael Leao was also to leave the San Siro this summer.
Pepi has a number of admirers in Spain, Italy and England. In terms of Serie A sides, the Rossoneri are the favorites at this stage but they will really have to hustle for Pepi.
Will Fulham Sign Ricardo Pepi?
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Fulham are one of the frontrunners to sign Ricardo Pepi. The English Premier League side is considering an approach for the PSV striker.

West Ham were also keen on signing Pepi in the January transfer window. Their offer was also rejected as PSV did not want to part ways with the 22-year-old mid-way through the season.
