Ex-Augsburg marksman linked with Bundesliga return at Leipzig

Could the former Augsburg man be tempted to join Die Roten Bullen?

Fußball Transfers has revealed that Leipzig are considering PSV Eindhoven’s Ricardo Pepi in their search for a new striker.

With Benjamin Šeško seemingly on the cusp of completing his move to Manchester United, a solution is required to replace the Slovenian. 

Pepi, who signed from FC Augsburg two years ago for €11million, is under contract at the Dutch champions until 2030. 

Last season, the American scored 17 goals in 29 competitive matches. PSV recently declined a €30million offer from Fulham.

Regarding other options, Leipzig has reached an agreement with Rômulo, but yet to make a breakthrough with Süper Lig club Göztepe.

Armando Broja, who is moving to Burnley FC, is no longer a solution. Finally, Stade Rennes’ Arnaud Kalimuendo is another candidate.
