Overview
- Multiple outlets and transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano say Bayern and PSV have agreed a €55 million transfer for Ismael Saibari, with an official announcement expected after the World Cup.
- Romano reported that medical examinations are planned to take place in the United States and that the deal is 'all agreed' pending those formalities.
- Saibari raised his profile by scoring Morocco’s equalizer in the 1–1 draw with Brazil, a development reported on Monday that coincides with the transfer coverage.
- Born in Terrassa and raised in Belgium, Saibari progressed through Genk and joined PSV’s setup in 2020 before breaking into PSV’s first team and finishing the season with 19 goals and nine assists.
- Bayern reportedly shifted to Saibari after a failed pursuit of Anthony Gordon, valuing Saibari’s ability to play as an attacking midfielder, winger or centre-forward, and PSV stands to receive one of its bigger outgoing fees if the move is completed.
