Bayern wants to get rid of Boey this winter—but there’s a major problem | OneFootball

FC Bayern and Sacha Boey—it hasn’t exactly been a success story so far. Last summer, the Munich club could have envisioned a permanent solution for the right back. His departure is likely to be a topic of discussion again this coming winter. However, the prospects for a transfer are limited.

As BILD soccer editor Christian Falk reports, the German record champions currently have little confidence that they’ll be able to sell Boey in January. There’s only a slim hope of reaching an agreement with another club.

The biggest problem: At the moment, there apparently isn’t a single concrete buyer in sight for the 26-year-old.

Last summer, there had been interest from Saudi Arabia. However, a transfer did not materialize. In addition to the question of an interested club, Boey’s own stance also plays a decisive role. The Frenchman is reportedly not willing to accept just any offer or move to any league.

Boey’s salary complicates a transfer

Added to this are the financial conditions. Boey earns well at FC Bayern—rumored to be between three and four million euros per year—which makes a transfer even more difficult for potential suitors. For the player himself, there is little reason to leave Munich for an offer that is significantly less lucrative.

The situation is thus complicated. Bayern needs a club that is both willing to meet the Munich-based club’s financial demands and attractive enough for Boey himself.

The fact that the situation is unsatisfactory for the record champions also has to do with the original investment. Bayern signed Boey from Galatasaray after a last-minute need arose on the right side of the defense. At the time, a 30 million euro transfer fee was paid to Istanbul, with an additional five million euros potentially added through bonus payments.

After Boey’s failed departure attempt this summer , coach Vincent Kompany had already made it clear that Boey would once again receive his full support. At the same time, the Belgian emphasized just how difficult Boey’s situation on the field is.

“In that position alone, we have Josip Stanisic and Konrad Laimer, and the competition there is already fierce,” Kompany explained recently. At the same time, he emphasized Boey’s chances: “But in soccer, anything can happen if you have the right attitude.”

Sporting director Max Eberl had also deliberately left the door open for a future departure: “He’s on the roster. He’ll stay here for now. That’s just how it is,” he said, adding with an eye toward the next transfer window: “And then we’ll see what happens in the winter.”

That very moment is drawing nearer. According to Falk, however, no concrete solution is in sight. If no new suitors emerge in the coming months, the Boey dilemma at FC Bayern could continue beyond the winter.
