Overview
- FC Bayern confirmed the signing of Ismael Saibari on Wednesday with a contract running to 2031 and club media releasing a player video message.
- Reports say Bayern will pay a guaranteed fee near €50 million with performance-related add‑ons that can push the total to roughly €55 million, a sum PSV calls a potential club-record sale if bonuses are met.
- Saibari completed the club medical while at the 2026 World Cup in North America and has been one of Morocco’s standout players, scoring in the group phase and converting the decisive penalty in the shootout with the Netherlands.
- Bayern sporting leaders presented Saibari as a flexible attacking option who can play on the wings, as a number 10, or centrally, a profile coach Vincent Kompany and the club expect to deepen competition for forward places.
- Saibari chose the squad number 34 as a public tribute to his friend Abdelhak Nouri, a personal gesture that underscores the human side of the transfer and that will shape how fans and teammates view his arrival.
