Bayern Sign Ismael Saibari for €55 Million

The five-year deal shows Bayern see Saibari as a long-term attacking upgrade while highlighting rising transfer fees for players from the Dutch league.

Overview

  • Bayern announced the signing Wednesday for a reported €55 million base fee and a five-year contract that runs through summer 2031.
  • Multiple outlets say the fee may include performance-related add-ons and that the transfer is PSV Eindhoven’s largest-ever sale.
  • Reporting credits manager Vincent Kompany with actively driving the move and says Saibari underwent a medical in the United States before the deal was finalized.
  • Saibari is a 25-year-old, versatile attacking midfielder whose strong displays for Morocco at the 2026 World Cup raised his market profile and who will compete with Jamal Musiala and provide depth behind Harry Kane.
  • The transfer underlines a wider market shift in which World Cup exposure can sharply increase Eredivisie players’ values and deliver significant revenue gains for Dutch clubs.
