Bayern eye Saibari, Ajax next in line
Bayern Munich have made contact with Ajax about Ismael Saibari. The German champions are working on a deal with PSV first, but if that falls through, your club is the backup plan (1) (2).
PSV are holding firm on their valuation and playing hardball. Bayern, aware talks could collapse, have already opened a channel to Amsterdam as an alternative route to the 25-year-old midfielder (2).
No bid has landed yet. But the interest is concrete enough that Ajax are on standby, and it would take a significant offer to make this happen.
