While No. 34 holds immense personal significance for Saibari, it also has a history within the hallowed halls of the Sabener Strasse. In the past, mainly young talents wore the number 34 shirt at FC Bayern, often using it as a stepping stone before moving into more traditional starting eleven digits.
Among others, Sandro Wagner (2007/08), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (2012-16), Marco Friedl (2016-18) and most recently Deniz Ofli (2025/26) wore it. Saibari, however, arrives as a high-profile signing expected to go straight into Vincent Kompany’s starting line-up, giving the jersey a new level of prominence in the Bundesliga.
