'Thank you': Morocco's Saibari won't comment on Bayern rumours

Ismael Saibari did not want to comment on a potential transfer to Bayern Munich after scoring again for Morocco at the World Cup on Friday.

Saibari was on target in their opening 1-1 draw with Brazil and then also scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Scotland.

German champions Bayern are said to be after 25-year-old PSV Eindhoven and he has reportedly already undergone the medical carried out at Morocco’s World Cup base.

Saibari evaded questions on the transfer with a simple “thank you” while saying he was very happy with his performances.

“It is the best time of my career because I dreamt of playing for my country at a World Cup since I was a little boy. I have achieved that. Now I have scored two goals for my country. I am simply happy,” the forward said.

Saibari, who is getting plenty of attention, added: “It is for others to judge whether I’m a revelation at this World Cup.”

Morocco became the first African team to reach the World Cup semi-finals in 2022, and he said they have big ambitions again this time.

“We have our goals for which we will fight. We can go a long way,” he said.

Morocco are tied with Brazil on four points atop Group C and play bottom side Haiti, who are already eliminated, in their final group match next week.
