Crystal Palace have moved from the shadows to the forefront, launching a concrete offer to Bayern Munich for the services of full-back Sacha Boey, according to Sky Sports.

The London club is actively seeking to capitalize on the French-Cameroonian defender's unsettled situation in Bavaria. Having arrived from Galatasaray in January 2024, the 23-year-old right-back has struggled to establish himself, finding his sporting reality far from his initial expectations. This context has prompted the Eagles to test the waters with a formal approach.

Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been a long-term admirer of the player. The British media reports that the Austrian coach is personally involved, holding direct discussions with Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, to accelerate the deal. Glasner is said to be a firm believer in Boey's explosive profile, valuing his "speed, intensity, commitment in duels, and ability to repeatedly surge up and down the flank." These are precisely the attributes that could bolster a Palace side still searching for defensive stability this season.

In Munich, Boey has failed to secure a lasting spot in the rotation, hindered by stiff competition and minor physical setbacks. With only a handful of appearances to his name since his high-profile move, his future at the Allianz Arena appears increasingly clouded. The player himself is acutely aware of the situation and is reportedly open to a departure. In fact, he has shown a willingness to embrace a new challenge in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace now hopes to leverage this perfect storm of circumstances to wrap up the operation swiftly. While Bayern must still make a final decision on his future, one thing is clear: the London club is determined not to let this opportunity slip away. The Eagles' winter transfer window could be set to ignite, with Sacha Boey poised to become their first major signing.
