Overview
- Multiple outlets report Bayern Munich and PSV have agreed a transfer for Ismael Saibari with a fee in the €50–55 million range and that a medical was held in the United States, but the move has not been officially confirmed by the clubs.
- Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi told reporters the transfer is not yet official and said Saibari remains focused and calm while representing his country at the World Cup.
- The central negotiation issue has been PSV’s demand for a high guaranteed sum versus Bayern’s preference for a mix of guaranteed money and add-ons, a package that would likely set a club record sale for PSV.
- Timing and registration remain unresolved because Saibari is with Morocco at the World Cup and PSV faces a June 30 fiscal cutoff that could affect when the deal is formally completed or announced.
- Saibari is a 25‑year‑old attacker who scored 19 goals for PSV in their title season and offers tactical versatility, a profile said to interest Bayern coach Vincent Kompany as he reshapes the team’s attack.
