Bayern Close to Signing PSV’s Ismaël Saibari, Keep Eye on Sergiño Dest

Saibari would add a versatile central attacking option for Bayern and reshape the club’s need to clear squad space before further signings.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Bayern are in advanced talks with PSV to sign Ismaël Saibari, with final details still to be agreed and a medical planned to take place in the United States while he is at the World Cup.
  • Sky Germany says coach Vincent Kompany has approved the move and Bayern intend to use Saibari in central attacking or central midfield roles rather than primarily on the wing.
  • Sergiño Dest is listed as a secondary, market‑opportunity target for full‑back depth with no formal talks reported and interest described as monitoring rather than an active pursuit.
  • Reports place Dest’s valuation or release clause in the roughly €20–25 million range and note Barcelona holds an estimated 20% sell‑on clause that would earn the club a modest payment from any sale.
  • Bayern plan to prioritise completing Saibari and then generate roster and financial space through departures before pursuing additional signings, and most movement is expected to wait until after the World Cup.
