Bayern Munich have reached an agreement in principle to sign Ismael Saibari from PSV, but the transfer is still waiting on a medical. The 25-year-old Morocco international is set to add another attacking option as Bayern keep reshaping the squad under Vincent Kompany.
Saibari Brings Goals And Flexibility
Saibari’s recent form helps explain why Bayern moved quickly. He scored 15 goals in 27 games for PSV in the season referenced in the briefing, and he had 56 combined goals and assists in 61 league starts across PSV’s last two title wins.
The forward also left a mark for Morocco at the World Cup, scoring in the 1-1 draw with Brazil in East Rutherford, New Jersey. That same profile — attacking midfielder, forward, and a player who can operate as a No 10 or on either wing — gives Bayern options in areas where they have already been active in the market.
Bayern Munich And PSV
Saibari joined PSV from Genk in 2020 and won his third straight Eredivisie title this season. Those details matter because Bayern are not buying a stopgap; they are targeting a player who has already produced at club level and on a major international stage.
The move would be Bayern’s second incoming transfer of the summer after Noel Aseko returned to the club after 18 months with Hannover. Leon Goretzka and Raphael Guerreiro were released after their contracts expired, and Bayern also hoped to conclude a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for Nathaniel Brown.
Medical Before July 1
The transfer is not complete yet. The medical had not taken place in the primary report, and the supplementary briefing said Saibari would not officially become a Bayern player until July 1, with PSV not planning to release information before then.
That leaves Bayern with the agreement in hand but not the paperwork finished. Saibari’s route from PSV to Bayern Munich now runs through the medical, then the formal steps that would make the deal public and put him in Munich through 2031.
