Morocco star Ismail Saibari reflects on Bayern Munich move after unveiling

New Bayern Munich signing Ismail Saibari has expressed his delight after being following official presentation after his high-profile transfer from PSV Eindhoven.

The Moroccan international completed his move to Bayern in a deal reportedly worth between €50 million and €55 million, marking one of the biggest steps of his career.

Saibari arrives in Germany after establishing himself as an important player for PSV and one of Morocco’s standout performers at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Following his unveiling, the 25-year-old attacker spoke about his first impressions of life at Bayern and revealed that he has already received a warm welcome from his new teammates.

“My teammates have given me a wonderful welcome and everyone is treating me very kindly, including the technical and administrative staff,” Saibari said.

Joining Bayern represents a major change in the midfielder’s career, but Saibari appears comfortable with the challenge and has already begun adapting to the demands of his new surroundings.

“I am living in a very comfortable atmosphere. Bayern has started playing in a different style that relies on more movement and high intensity in performance since the arrival of Vincent Kompany.”

“I experienced it myself last season. They play excellent football, always strong and constantly looking to shoot towards the goal, and that impresses me a lot.”

For Saibari, the move to Bayern offers an opportunity to work under Kompany and develop further in a highly competitive environment.

The Moroccan can operate in several positions, giving the coach different options in midfield and attack.

That versatility was one of the principal reasons Bayern decided to pursue his signature, with Eberl describing him as a player capable of adding new dimensions to the team.

His performances for PSV helped establish him as one of the most promising Moroccan players in European football, while his contribution to Morocco’s 2026 World Cup campaign further increased his profile.

The player will have to compete with established stars for a starting position, but his comments suggest he is embracing the challenge rather than fearing it.

The €50m-plus transfer fee also highlights the level of expectation surrounding his arrival.

Bayern supporters will expect Saibari to bring his physical presence, speed, technical quality and attacking versatility to the team.

For the player himself, the immediate priority will be adapting to the Bundesliga, understanding Kompany’s tactical demands and building strong relationships with his new teammates.

His first impressions have been positive, with Saibari praising the welcome he has received from everyone at the club.

After making the move from PSV, the Moroccan now has the opportunity to establish himself at one of the biggest clubs in world football.

And with Bayern placing significant faith in his ability, Saibari will be determined to ensure that his big-money transfer becomes the beginning of a successful new chapter rather than simply another move in his rapidly developing career.
