Ismael Saibari opened the scoring for Morocco in their 1-1 World Cup draw with Brazil on 13 June 2026 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Bayern Munich has initiated negotiations with the PSV Eindhoven midfielder after failing to sign Anthony Gordon, who transferred to Barcelona instead.
PSV values Saibari highly and Bayern is awaiting the Dutch club's valuation. Transfermarkt rates the 25-year-old at €40 million. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Saibari is keen to join Bayern Munich.
Saibari's potential mid-tournament departure could weaken Morocco's creative platform in Group C matches against Scotland (20 June) and Haiti (25 June), affecting odds on Morocco progression and shifting squad-balance expectations for their remaining fixtures.
