The 25-year-old is expected to sign a contract with the German champions until June 2031, pending a medical examination.

The transfer, strongly supported by Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany, marks a significant early move for the club ahead of the 2026-27 season. Personal terms between Saibari and Bayern were agreed upon prior to the clubs reaching a full agreement.
