Transfer Details and Negotiations
Bayern Munich are on the verge of confirming their first high-profile signing for the 2026/27 campaign with the expected acquisition of PSV Eindhoven forward Ismael Saibari. As reported by Sky Germany, the Bundesliga champions have concluded protracted negotiations and now have a total agreement with PSV regarding the Moroccan international’s transfer.
While Florian Plettenberg has not disclosed the final transfer fee, prior reports suggested Bayern submitted a €45m plus €5m bid for Saibari. However, PSV held out for a minimum base fee of €50m for the 25-year-old attacker. Saibari is set to undergo his medical in the United States before officially penning a contract that will tie him to the Munich club until 2031.

Player Profile and Recent Form
The Moroccan international, who made headlines by netting the opener against Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, delivered an impressive 2025/26 campaign for PSV. Saibari found the back of the net 15 times and delivered 8 assists across his 27 Eredivisie appearances, cementing his status as one of the Dutch side’s most valuable assets.
Paris Saint-Germain had expressed interest in acquiring Saibari earlier in the year, but it is Bayern who have ultimately prevailed in securing his signature.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025/26 | PSV Eindhoven | 27 | 15 | 8 |
Implications for Bayern Munich
This transfer represents another substantial investment in Bayern’s attack, following their €70m signing of Luis Díaz last summer. With Díaz set to turn 30 in the coming year, Serge Gnabry sidelined through injury, and Lennart Karl still in a developmental phase, Saibari’s imminent arrival promises to bolster Bayern’s offensive options and could prove to be a significant coup in the transfer market.
