Bayern Munich and PSV Eindhoven have signed off on every document required to complete Ismael Saibari’s transfer. The deal will run through 2031, with head coach Vincent Kompany finally getting his man. Only the medical stands between the Moroccan star and his official Bayern unveiling.

Paperwork Done, Medical Next

Saibari will join the German record champions from Eindhoven for a fee reported between €52 and €55 million. Arrangements have already been made for him to undergo his medical examination in the United States, since the Bayern club doctor is currently working alongside the German national team there. That setup allows the final formalities to clear without any need for Saibari to fly to Munich immediately. Once cleared, an official statement follows almost instantly.

The plan involves deploying Saibari as either a secondary striker, a number ten, or a backup option behind Harry Kane, filling the void left after Nicolas Jackson’s loan spell ended. Kompany reportedly identified him as the perfect profile for that role months ago.

A Breakout Season Turned World Cup Stage

Saibari’s numbers explain Bayern’s urgency. Across 27 Eredivisie matches, he produced 15 goals and 8 assists, posting an average Sofascore rating of 7.20 while averaging nearly ten carries per game. His standout showing came in a wild 4-3 win over Utrecht, where he delivered a perfect ten rating.

His stock rose even further at the World Cup. Goals against both Brazil and Scotland turned him into one of the tournament’s breakout stars, reinforcing exactly why Bayern moved so decisively before the tournament began. His strike during a 1-1 draw with Brazil put him firmly on the wider footballing radar.

For PSV, the fee marks one of the largest outgoing transfers in the club’s history. Bayern, meanwhile, add a versatile creator entering his prime years. Fans can follow more transfer news at KCPredict. Further reporting is available via Bavarian Football Works.
