Bayern Munich is advancing its squad planning with significant momentum as they finalize the transfer of Moroccan sensation Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven. The talented attacking midfielder is set to sign a contract that will extend until the summer of 2031, marking a major step in the club's strategic recruitment.
Although the medical examination is still pending, it is expected to take place during the World Cup in the United States. Following this, an official announcement regarding the transfer will be made. Notably, Bayern's head coach Vincent Kompany has been a strong advocate for bringing the 25-year-old player into the fold, highlighting Saibari's potential and versatility as an offensive asset.
Saibari has shown impressive performance metrics during his tenure at PSV Eindhoven, where he recorded 19 goals and provided nine assists across 37 competitive matches last season. His ability to adapt to various roles on the pitch has made him a highly sought-after player, particularly in the eyes of Kompany.
The Moroccan international also enjoys the support of his national teammate Bilal El Khannouss, who commented on the Bayern rumors following Morocco's recent 1-1 draw against Brazil. While El Khannouss expressed that he doesn't interfere with his friend's career decisions, he couldn't hide his excitement about the potential transfer. "To be honest, I don’t meddle in other people's careers. He is a very close friend, but I don’t get involved in such private matters," he stated. However, he added, "I hope it happens for him because he truly deserves it. Of course! He is an incredible player, and I wish for him to play for a big team. I hope it will come to fruition."
