PSV Star Ismael Saibari Makes Special Promise to Fans After Record €50 Million-Plus Transfer

Over recent years, Saibari has blossomed into one of the Eredivisie's standout performers. His blend of technique, power, and goal-scoring prowess played a pivotal role in PSV securing three league titles. However, the past year marked a career high for the 25-year-old Moroccan international, as he netted an impressive nineteen goals and provided nine assists across 37 appearances in all competitions. He has already added three goals to his tally at the World Cup.

"It's a departure with mixed emotions," Saibari stated himself after finalizing his dream move. "Bayern Munich is an incredibly prestigious club, and I'm really looking forward to hitting the ground running there. At the same time, I'm going to deeply miss many people within PSV. Over the years, Eindhoven has truly come to feel like home."

The Moroccan international joined from KRC Genk in the summer of 2020, beginning his Eindhoven journey with Jong PSV. "I've had an unforgettable time here and been given incredible opportunities. This club has provided me with the means to develop into the person and footballer I am today. I want to thank everyone involved from the bottom of my heart for their endless support. Despite my departure, you'll definitely still see me around."

According to PSV Director of Football, Earnest Stewart, Saibari serves as the ultimate role model for young talents. "Ismael is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when talent, character, and hard work converge. We've watched him grow from a promising prospect into a decisive player at the highest level. His contribution to our successes has been immense, but equally remarkable is the way he has developed as a person."

"It's never easy to say goodbye to someone who has become so instrumental to PSV, but this step perfectly aligns with his ambitions and the path we jointly mapped out. We are proud of Ismael and proud that PSV is once again delivering a player to a club at the absolute pinnacle of world football. We wish him all the very best in this next phase of his career," Stewart concluded in the press release.
