This comes after Pepi showed out with FC Groningen on loan from FC Augsburg in the 2022-23 season. The product out of San Elizario scored 12 goals in league play and had 15 goal involvements. Pepi’s individual success didn’t translate to team success as the club was relegated after it finished in last place in the Eredivisie table.
