Bayern Munich’s hopes of selling Sacha Boey back to the club they bought him from looks to have fallen through. Galatasaray are reportedly unwilling to purchase Boey for the fee and salary expected from the player. However, interest from the Premier League leaves Bayern hopeful of completing this sale in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Per a report by Sky Sports Florian Plettenberg, Galatasaray are put off by the financial terms of the potential transfer with the purchase fee and player salary being the main issues of concern. Interest from clubs in the Premier League is a potential direction that Bayern are willing to take as they explore the market to offload the Frenchman.
Brought in for €30 million excluding add-ons, the 24 year-old is already on the summer sale list after 18 months. During this period, Boey has made 19 appearances for Bayern. In the “Question of the day” article, where we asked our readers whether Bayern should retain Sacha Boey or not, the overall response was not in favor of retention. There were 9 votes against retention with only 4 clear votes backing Boey to stay in Bavaria.
Injury downtime — A big theme of Boey’s time at Bayern
Injuries were the biggest hurdle for the right-back, losing nearly 6 months to injury. The double-whammy with injury time is it takes some game-time to get back into rhythm. Unfortunately for Boey, rhythm disruption was another hurdle due to the intermittent injuries.
