Bayern Munich are being strongly linked with a move for PSV’s Morocco-Belgium attacking midfielder Ismael Saibari, with the 25-year-old’s future in Eindhoven increasingly in the spotlight.
The Bundesliga champions are reported to be pushing hard for Saibari, whose potential transfer is currently rated at an 80% probability, according to data from Transfermarkt. No deal has been agreed and the move remains at the rumour stage, but Bayern are understood to see the PSV No 34 as a prime target to refresh their options in attacking midfield.
Saibari, valued at €40.00m, has no publicly listed contract expiry date with the Eredivisie side, adding intrigue over whether PSV may eventually risk losing him for nothing if his deal runs down and he becomes a free agent. Born in Terrassa on 28 January 2001 and standing at 1.85m, the right-footed playmaker has developed into a modern, physically strong attacking midfielder capable of operating across the advanced midfield line.
The Morocco and Belgium dual national has been a key figure for PSV in recent campaigns. In his latest outing before this rumour intensified – a league fixture for PSV against domestic opposition earlier this month – Saibari featured in an attacking midfield role as his side extended their strong form, further underlining why leading European clubs are monitoring him closely.
Saibari’s rise in the Eredivisie has come exclusively in PSV colours at senior level, having progressed through the club to establish himself as one of their most valuable assets. His performances in the Dutch top flight and in European competition have pushed his valuation up to the €40m bracket, placing him firmly in the market range Bayern typically operate in when reshaping their squad.
With his combination of height, technique and versatility in advanced midfield, a successful move to Bavaria would represent a significant step up in profile and could prove decisive in shaping Saibari’s career trajectory, testing whether he can translate his PSV form into sustained impact at the very top of the European game.
