Bayern Munich Close to Signing Ismael Saibari
Recent reports suggest that Bayern Munich has reached an agreement with Moroccan international Ismael Saibari regarding personal terms for his transfer. However, the German club is still in negotiations with his current team, PSV Eindhoven, concerning the transfer fee for the talented offensive player. Saibari played a crucial role in securing PSV's third consecutive league title and was honored as the Eredivisie Player of the Year. He also celebrated victory with Morocco in the African Cup of Nations in 2025. His contract with PSV is valid until mid-2029, which adds a layer of complexity to the negotiations.
According to the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf," Saibari has fundamentally agreed to terms with Bayern Munich, and the German giants are eager to finalize the transfer of the PSV midfielder swiftly. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed these developments on social media. Reports from the Netherlands indicate that the conditions set by the German club pose no issues for Saibari, who is keen on making the move to Bayern, a club that can meet his salary expectations. The primary concern for the player now is for both clubs to come to an agreement.
Potential for Additional Transfers from PSV
Saibari, who is set to represent Morocco at the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, transitioned from KRC Genk's U21 team to PSV's second squad in the summer of 2020. He was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2022 and has since made 29 appearances for Morocco, scoring nine goals. Furthermore, reports from "AD" suggest that Bayern Munich may also have their sights set on Saibari's teammate, Sergiño Dest. The US international could be a valuable addition to their defense as a right-back, although no negotiations have commenced regarding his transfer as of yet.
