External reports suggest Bayern Munich are confident of closing the Ismael Saibari deal next week, with the player’s medical expected to take place in the United States.
This arrangement is being considered because of the 2026 World Cup, as Saibari a key member of the Morocco national team is already in the U.S., one of the tournament’s host nations. Bayern are keen to finalise the transfer during the World Cup window, making an American‑based medical the most practical option.
The amount Bayern will pay is not yet known, but Softfootball understands that by the end of this week, the figures will become clearer as negotiations move toward completion.
