Bayern Close to Signing Ismael Saibari as Club Talks Continue

A dispute over guaranteed cash versus add‑on payments is delaying the final contract and formal registration is likely to wait until after PSV's June 30 fiscal cutoff.

Overview

  • Talks between Bayern Munich and PSV Eindhoven remain active and are described as close but still unresolved as of June 13.
  • The core sticking point is payment structure: PSV wants at least €50 million guaranteed while Bayern has offered packages that mix guaranteed fees and up to €5 million in add‑ons.
  • Ismael Saibari has reportedly agreed personal terms on a multi‑year deal with Bayern, leaving club‑to‑club agreement as the main obstacle.
  • A medical is expected to take place in the United States and parties are balancing Morocco's World Cup schedule with PSV's accounting needs, which could delay any formal announcement.
  • The move is driven by coach Vincent Kompany's request and would likely be a club‑record sale for PSV if the final fee and payment terms meet Eindhoven's demands.
