PSG Eyes Rising Moroccan Star: Ismail Saibari Could Be the Next Summer Surprise
1 January 2026
PSG's Interest in Saibari
Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly weighing a move for Moroccan attacking midfielder Ismail Saibari of PSV Eindhoven, aiming to bolster their squad with a young, adaptable talent. The rumor mill picked up steam as Saibari's name floated into Paris in December, following strong displays for Eindhoven and the Moroccan national team.
Form and National Duty
At 24, Saibari has had a breakout season, tallying 11 goals and 4 assists in 23 appearances across all competitions. His performances for Morocco have raised his profile among elite clubs looking to add a technically gifted midfielder to their ranks.
PSG's Stance and the Summer Plan
Le Parisien reported that Saibari was offered to PSG in the last month, though no decision has been made. Under Luis Enrique, PSG's coaching staff are proceeding cautiously, keeping Saibari as one option within a broader youth oriented strategy designed to feed into the club's long term project during the upcoming mercato.
Punchline 1: If patience is a football position, Enriciue would be the goalkeeper.
Punchline 2: Saibari might need a map for his future shirt number; the summer mercato is a treasure hunt with a stadium full of fans.
