Bayern trying to sell Sacha Boey amid Crystal Palace interest | OneFootball

Bayern Munich defender Sacha Boey is likely to leave the club in the January window. 

The Bavarian giants are unlikely to do any major transfers this month. Daniel Peretz has joined Southampton on loan from Bayern, but he was not in Vincent Kompany’s playing squad.

However, there is a chance that Boey could leave the club in January.

Boey joined Bayern from Galatasaray for a fee of around €30m in the January window of 2024.

The 25-year-old right-back made only 20 appearances last season, with injuries preventing him from featuring regularly.

The full-back has been heavily linked with a move to Crystal Palace, but it appears that the Eagles have cooled their interest.

Palace have signed Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur this month, and they could be looking to bolster in other areas.

Max Eberl recently suggested that Bayern could look to offload Boey.

Eberl said: “Now that Hiroki Ito and Phonzie Davies are back, we have a wealth of very high-quality full-backs. Then it could become really difficult for one or two players. Then it also makes sense to consider a possible change.”

The Bild journalist told CF Bayern: “Bayern are also still trying to sell Sacha Boey.

“Head of sport Max Eberl put a bit of pressure on the fullback after the match against Salzburg; he said the club has enough right-backs, so Boey has the chance to leave.

“The 25-year-old is also ill and couldn’t play against Salzburg. So it’s a bit of a challenge at the moment to sell him. I heard the Crystal Palace move is, at the moment, cold. They’ve yet to make a concrete offer, so this move isn’t going to work at the present time. It’s a pity for Bayern Munich.”

Sacha Boey facing uncertain futures

Boey has made five starts in the Bundesliga this season, and a further four appearances have come from the bench.

The right-back has not made any appearance since November, and he has dropped down the pecking order behind Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanisic.

Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito have returned from long-term injuries, which means Kompany has plenty of options at the back.

It also means Kompany will not have to use either Stanisic or Laimer on the left.

Both defenders are a class apart when used at right-back, which means Boey will have to wait for his chances and get games if and only if other players are injured.
