Ismael Saibari is on the verge of joining Bayern Munich, potentially finalizing a £45m deal within days. The 25-year-old attacker is set to undergo his medical in the USA, indicating the swift progress of this transfer.

Despite the ongoing World Cup, where Saibari shone with a stunning goal for Morocco against Brazil, Bayern's interest predates his standout performance. Reports from TalkSport suggest that the club has been actively pursuing Saibari for some time, and they may be frustrated that his recent success could inflate his transfer fee.

Highlights of the situation include:

• Saibari's impressive goal against Brazil has significantly raised his profile.
• The swift movement on this deal indicates Bayern's commitment to strengthening their attacking options, particularly as competition for Harry Kane.
• The player is expected to complete his medical in the coming days, paving the way for an official announcement.

In related news, Chelsea is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, although Alex Scott is reportedly not on their radar according to sources close to the club.
