FC Bayern Munich are pressing ahead with plans for their first major transfer of the summer, with PSV Eindhoven’s Ismael Saibari set to move to Munich and the deal now close to completion

On Tuesday, news broke that FC Bayern had the Moroccan attacker on their books, and things moved very quickly after that, with Bayern reaching an early agreement in principle with the player’s side

Now there is also progress in the poker between PSV and Bayern. The Dutch are still demanding a high sum, but the record champions are closing in on these demands

Saibari deal close to completion

In recent days, there has been talk of a demand for at least 50 million euros, but PSV are said to be willing to make at least some concessions to Bayern if it is guaranteed that a large part of the transfer fee will be paid immediately

Now Fabrizio Romano reports that a deal is close to being finalized, and there are fewer and fewer differences regarding the transfer fee and the terms of payment

All parties are now confident that it will not be long before an agreement is reached. Saibari himself wants to move to Munich and has already spoken to Bayern coach Vincent Kompany about his plans for him

Bayern are prepared for everything. The medical check is to take place in the USA, where Saibari is currently staying with the Moroccan national team, with whom he will play at the World Cup. Bayern therefore already have staff from the medical department on hand to carry out the check directly on site

The record champions‘ plan is to finalize the deal before the World Cup in order to have planning security.
