PSV Eindhoven loses one of its best players to Bayern Munich. Ismaël Saïbari, the Moroccan forward, has signed a contract with the German top club. The 23-year-old player made an impressive impact during the World Cup and will join Bayern in August for the pre-season training.
What does this mean for PSV Eindhoven?
The loss of Saïbari is a big blow for PSV Eindhoven, who won the Eredivisie last season with 74 points, 19 points ahead of Feyenoord. The club scored 84 goals and conceded 40. Saïbari was a key player in PSV's attacking play and his departure will leave a gap.
Who will replace Saïbari?
PSV Eindhoven will need to find a replacement for Saïbari. The club has not yet signed a new forward, but will likely take action before the transfer window closes. PSV's next match is on January 31, 2027, away against Willem II.
What's next for Saïbari?
Saïbari will join Bayern Munich, where he will play under manager Vincent Kompany. He will have to compete with other forwards such as Arijon Ibrahimović and Jamal Musiala. Saïbari will likely be deployed as a forward or as a player behind the striker.
