Saibari joins Bayern for €55m from PSV

Ismael Saibari will leave PSV for Bayern München in a deal worth €55 million including bonuses, breaking Eindhoven club’s outgoing transfer record. The 25-year-old midfielder completes the move after Bayern activated his release clause. Philipp Kessler, covering the German champions for tz München, confirmed the transfer details to VoetbalPrimeur. Bayern’s pursuit of Saibari follows months of negotiations with PSV. Saibari, who made 120 appearances for PSV, departs as the club’s record sale. His exit leaves a midfield void at the Eredivisie side, which has yet to name a replacement target. Bayern’s sporting director reportedly identified Saibari as a priority target to bolster their midfield depth. The deal includes performance-related add-ons that could push the total fee higher. The 25-year-old completes his medical and signs his contract in Munich this week. PSV will receive the initial payment immediately, with bonuses tied to future Bayern performances. Saibari’s arrival adds to Bayern’s summer overhaul under new manager Thomas Tuchel, who has reshaped the squad with multiple high-profile arrivals.
