Bayern Sign Morocco Forward Ismael Saibari on Five-Year Deal

Fueled by his 2026 World Cup breakout, the transfer will have Saibari join after the tournament to provide versatile attacking depth behind Harry Kane.

Overview

  • Bayern Munich officially announced the signing of Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven on a five-year contract running to June 2031, with the club confirming the move on Wednesday.
  • Media outlets report the fee at roughly €50–55 million, with some accounts describing an initial €50 million plus up to €5 million in add-ons while Bayern has not published final financial details.
  • Saibari’s World Cup form, including multiple goals and the decisive penalty against the Netherlands, accelerated Bayern’s pursuit and helped push his valuation during the summer window.
  • Bayern describe Saibari as a versatile attacker who can play centrally or wide, a signing aimed at strengthening depth behind Harry Kane and increasing competition for places with players such as Jamal Musiala.
  • The transfer is a major sale for PSV after Saibari scored 42 goals in 142 appearances and won three straight Eredivisie titles, and observers will watch how quickly he integrates into Vincent Kompany’s squad and Bayern’s title ambitions.
