Ismail Saibari joined Bayern Munich from PSV Eindhoven in a transfer valued between 50 and 55 million euros. Following his signing, Saibari made an immediate impact during a Telekom Cup friendly against RB Leipzig, providing an assist to Jamal Musiala in a 3-1 victory.

Saibari later made a historic Bundesliga debut as a substitute in a 5-1 win over Stuttgart, providing two assists. This performance made him the first Bayern Munich player to record two assists as a substitute on his Bundesliga debut since Toni Kroos in 2007. Following the match, Saibari noted that he aims to learn from Harry Kane, and his performance received high ratings from German media.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl expressed high satisfaction with the 24-year-old’s creativity and immediate contribution. In an interview with the club’s official magazine, Saibari stated he is ‘incapable of giving only 90%’ and credited manager Vincent Kompany for his arrival, noting that Kompany assured him his qualities would fit the Bavarian style. Saibari, who wears number 34 in honor of Abdelhak Nouri, also reflected on the influence of his parents, whom he described as his greatest role models.
