Ricardo Pepi Extends Contract with PSV
United States striker Ricardo Pepi has extended his contract with PSV until 2030. Pepi, who was the subject of a $26 million bid from West Ham, opted to stay with PSV despite the interest from other clubs. The 22-year-old has been in impressive form this season, scoring 11 goals in 18 Eredivisie appearances and 17 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions. However, Pepi suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for one to three months. Despite the setback, Pepi expressed his happiness with the contract extension, citing the love and opportunities provided by PSV. He is looking forward to creating more memorable moments with the club.
PSV Rejects West Ham's Bid
Last week, West Ham made a €25 million bid for Pepi, which PSV turned down. The offer came after Pepi's standout performance in PSV's 3-2 victory over Liverpool, where he scored the winning goal. The rejection of the bid indicates PSV's commitment to retaining the talented striker.
Pepi's Injury and Recovery
Following the knee injury, Pepi expressed disappointment but remained optimistic about his recovery. He acknowledged the risks involved in professional football but assured fans that he would return to the field as soon as possible. Despite the challenges, Pepi's focus remains on contributing to PSV's success and achieving new milestones with the club.
