FC Dallas is ready to let Ricardo Pepi go; European soccer teams looking for him

Ricardo Pepi could leave FC Dallas and go to a European team in the current winter market, so his club is already seriously analyzing the offers coming from the other side of the sea. 

Although until a few weeks ago the club was strongly opposed to letting the player go because it wanted him to complete his process with the team, things have changed. 

Which European clubs are looking for Ricardo Pepi? 

Everything seems to indicate that the Texan club is looking to decline offers of 9 to 10 million euros, to ask European clubs to increase the number of their offers for the player. 

And it seems that this request is working, as reported by CBS News, several European clubs have approached the player's agent to make generous offers for the FC Dallas striker. 

For starters, top Italian clubs such as Inter Milan and Sampdoria have approached the player's agent to offer him to join their clubs. 

But they are not the only ones in the bidding since the Premier League Wolverhampton has also asked for the player.

If Pepi arrives at Wolves, he will likely play alongside Raul Jimenez, who could help him adapt to the team.

On the other hand from Germany they see with good eyes the player and teams like Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have approached to offer a contract.

Although according to the reporter Jaime Ojeda, Wolfsburg is the team that is closer to signing the player. 

What is a fact is that the chances of Ricardo Pepi leaving MLS in January are getting stronger and stronger. 

Which European team would Ricardo Pepi like to play for?

The FC Dallas striker has been quite blunt about which team in Europe he would like to play for. And his choice came as a surprise to no one, as he stated that he would like to play for Real Madrid. 

"I always tell my parents, I always tell my agent that my dream has always been to play for Real Madrid. Before I retire I want to play for a couple of years. I want to play at least three, four years at Real. It's the top of the world," Pepi said.

The player made this statement in an interview for the digital media 90 minutes last October.

And although so far it is not known if Los Merengues are interested in the player, his arrival to a team in Europe could put him on Madrid's radar. 

Before today, FC Dallas president Dan Hunt had been very emphatic about whether Pepi should go to Europe or not. 

"We definitely expect Ricardo to be back with us next season," is what Hunt had told Al Dia, a U.S. digital media outlet. 

But if he has changed his mind with the player's agent, The Train's days in MLS are likely numbered.  

Why are clubs in Europe looking for Ricardo Pepi?

Ricardo Pepi's numbers with FC Dallas speak for themselves: in 31 MLS games with his current team, the player has scored 13 goals and provided two assists. 

But it's not only there that The Train has shone, he has also done so with the USMNT. 

The player, who just debuted this year with the Stars and Stripes, played in 7 matches and scored 3 goals, being very important in the World Cup qualifiers. 

The player in his position as a striker is lethal, has depth in the opponent's area, can win duels in the air, and above all, scores goals at important moments.

With all these characteristics, it is very difficult for teams in Europe to let him come to the MLS next season.
