FC Bayern’s play suits me, I can play my own style of football here, and I’ll work hard every day to help the team. Coach Vincent Kompany played a key role in my decision – I’m looking forward to working with him.”Saibari adds versatility for Bayern, able to play as an attacking midfielder or as a forward. He departs PSV after helping the club to three consecutive Eredivisie titles.The Moroccan recorded 19 goals and nine assists in 39 appearances in the 2025-26 campaign, including a goal against Bayern in their final league phase fixture in the Champions League, a 2-1 defeat.
