Saibari, 25, joined Bayern last July from Dutch side Eindhoven on a five-year contract running until 2031, with reports putting the fee at 50 million.
He had lit up the 2026 World Cup, scoring in all three of Morocco's group-stage matches and tucking away the decisive penalty in the win over the Netherlands in the round of 32. Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl called him "one of the most exciting players at the World Cup".
