Bayern Seal Deal for Morocco Star
Moroccan forward Ismail Saibari has agreed to join Bayern Munich in the summer from PSV for a transfer fee of €55m, reports Fabrizio Romano.
Saibari scored the opening goal against Brazil in the World Cup group stage yesterday, and today Bayern and PSV reached an agreement for the player's move to the German giants. It has been a great week for Saibari; he scored against Brazil at the World Cup, and then he made a big move to Bayern Munich.
The Attributes That Set Him Apart
Saibari is a versatile attacking midfielder who can also operate as a winger or false nine
He possesses excellent dribbling and passing qualities, which make him thrive against modern defenders. Saibari can produce major threats against opposition during counterattacks with his passing, linkup play, dribbling, and exceptional acceleration.
The 25-year-old started his youth and senior career in the Netherlands, and the Bayern move is the player's first step for a chapter in a foreign league.
The International Choice That Paid Off
The former Belgian team manager Roberto Martinez tried to convince Saibari to join the Belgian national team for the 2022 World Cup, but the player said, "I thought it was fantastic. But I told him I had chosen Morocco.” Now he has become one of the players on the Moroccan side, which is one of the most feared teams in the World Cup.
Official Confirmation Expected Soon
Saibari is set to undergo medicals in the USA, which will be followed by an official announcement from Bayern Munich. The player will join with German champions after the World Cup to begin a new chapter in the career of the versatile forward.
