Moroccan attacking midfielder Ismael Saibari is dominating the headlines after his historic penalty that sent the country into the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As curiosity grew about the 25-year-old forward’s personal life, fans have started digging into his personal life, especially after a viral story about his alleged ex-girlfriend once again took over social media.
The popular claim making rounds is that Saibari had a girlfriend who allegedly left him because he “couldn’t afford” her lifestyle while he was at PSV Eindhoven, only to beg him after his blockbuster move to Bayern Munich.
The viral ‘you can’t afford me’ claim
Posts circulating across social media allege that Saibari had a girlfriend during his three-year contract with PSV Eindhoven, before he ranked up to the senior squad in 2023. However, the relationship didn’t last, allegedly because his reported salary at PSV Eindhoven wasn’t enough to support her lifestyle.
