Rejected by PSG in winter, Saibari signs for Bayern Munich for €50m

PSG let Ismael Saibari slip away: offered to the Parisian club during the winter transfer window, the Moroccan international did not receive a favorable response from the capital’s decision-makers. It is Bayern Munich who is capitalizing, officially announcing the transfer of the PSV Eindhoven winger in the middle of the 2026 World Cup for €50 million, with a contract running until 2031.

Saibari, 25, has nonetheless established himself as one of the tournament’s revelations. Repositioned centrally by coach Mohamed Ouahbi, the Terrassa native scored 3 goals in 4 matches with Morocco, confirming an exceptional season in the Eredivisie: 19 goals and 9 assists in 37 appearances in PSV colors.

This output logically attracted the attention of several major European clubs. While Paris chose not to pursue the proposal, Munich decided quickly. The German champions have thus secured a versatile profile, capable of playing on the wing or centrally, at a time when Saibari is at the peak of his standing on the international stage.

For PSG, the matter now looks like a missed opportunity, especially since the player’s performances at the 2026 World Cup have further driven up his market value well beyond the amount ultimately spent by Bayern.
