Bayern Munich announced this Wednesday (1st) the signing of striker Ismael Saibari, a highlight of Morocco's World Cup squad. The 25-year-old player will leave PSV Eindhoven after the end of the tournament to play for the German club.

The negotiation values were not officially disclosed, but the European press estimates that the transfer could reach 55 million euros (around R$326 million).

Saibari arrived at PSV in 2020, coming from Genk, Belgium, and played 142 matches for the Dutch club, scoring 42 goals.

Last season was the most productive of his career. The striker found the net 15 times in 27 Eredivisie games and helped PSV win their third consecutive Dutch Championship title.

"When you're a child, you dream of signing a contract with a club like Bayern Munich. Everyone knows it's one of the biggest clubs in the world," said Saibari.

"Bayern competes for the biggest titles, like the Champions League, every year, and I want to win as many trophies as possible here," he added.

For the Moroccan national team, Saibari has been one of the highlights of the World Cup campaign. The striker scored in the 1-0 victory over Scotland and the 4-2 victory against Haiti, in addition to scoring the decisive penalty in the penalty shootout against the Netherlands, which guaranteed the team's qualification to the round of 16.
