Ismael Saibari lauded for development as Bayern eyes €55 million PSV move

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ismael Saibari, 25, has drawn high praise from Dutch analysts André Ooijer and Ron Jans after his standout performances for Morocco at the World Cup. The former defender highlighted Saibari’s dramatic improvement over the past one‑to‑two years, noting his increased work ethic, openness to feedback and refinement of physical conditioning. Jans added that Saibari’s impact was decisive in matches, citing his role in PSV’s recent victories and his modest, confident demeanor.

Saibari was named Eredivisie Player of the Year, having recorded 31 goals and 24 assists in 93 league appearances and helped PSV claim three Dutch titles. German powerhouse Bayern Munich is reported to be preparing a €55 million bid to bring the Moroccan international to the Bundesliga, with a contract potentially running until 2031.

Born in Terrassa, Spain, to Moroccan parents and raised in Belgium, Saibari holds Spanish, Moroccan and Belgian citizenship. His market value has risen sharply, reflecting his growing reputation on both club and international stages.
