Saibari is Bayern’s preferred solution – but Eberl has a plan B | OneFootball

Ismael Saibari is FC Bayern’s new dream player for the offense. The PSV player is expected to arrive this summer, preferably as soon as possible and before the World Cup. However, there is no guarantee that a transfer will materialize

This is primarily due to the fact that PSV are looking to pay a record sum for the player. Hirving Lozano, who moved from PSV to Napoli for 50 million euros, is the Dutch club’s record signing to date

Up to 60 million euros are apparently needed to lure Saibari to Munich this summer, and even though Vincent Kompany has already given his blessing to the signing and Munich have reached an agreement in principle with the player, there are still doubts

According to Sky information, it is currently not possible to say with certainty whether the deal for the Moroccan will go through. Many factors play a role: Bayern also want to set a financial limit this time so as not to end up paying too much for the player

Max Eberl has the guideline that he has to keep a balance between expenditure and income anyway. A limit was also set for Anthony Gordon, who was previously the player of choice, and Eberl stuck to it

Because the situation is currently quite dynamic and FC Bayern have to wait for the negotiations with PSV, they are keeping in touch with other options. Bayern are committed to a top candidate, but have alternatives that will be considered if there are signals that jeopardize a deal for Saibari

In any case, it is interesting that Saibari is not a player who is considered a classic winger. He is more of a playmaker type who can also play on the wing. Previously, however, there were several reports that Bayern were looking for a classic winger.
