Full-back Sacha Boey is about to leave FC Bayern. But time is running out to complete a transfer.
Munich – FC Bayern could make a surprising personnel decision shortly before the end of the transfer period. French right-back Sacha Boey is on the sell list and could leave the club. Sports director Max Eberl and coach Vincent Kompany have signaled that they no longer see any use for the 25-year-old.
The decision to put Boey on the transfer list resulted from a combination of sporting and disciplinary reasons. Despite his 14 competitive appearances this season, Boey hasn’t played a minute on the pitch since November. Internal indiscipline led to coach Vincent Kompany sorting out the Frenchman. For Kompany, who places great value on discipline and team structure, the loss of trust was too great.
Winter departure from FC Bayern?
Despite his current situation, Boey is in demand on the transfer market. Everton FC as well as the French clubs Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille have expressed interest Kicker sports magazine reported. These clubs are looking for defensive reinforcements and see Boey as a potential solution. However, they are cautious as Boey has not played for months and his salary could be a hindrance.
Boey’s contract with FC Bayern runs until 2028 and his salary could be a stumbling block. It is unlikely that another club will offer him a similar salary. In order to make a move possible, Boey may have to forego salary. In addition, his lack of match practice is a risk for interested clubs who do not want to risk any uncertainty.
In the coming days it will be decided whether Sacha Boey leaves FC Bayern or continues to have no sporting prospects. Time is short and everyone involved is under pressure to find a solution. For FC Bayern, it is important to sell the player at fair market conditions without being forced to act. It remains to be seen whether a transfer will actually take place. (smr)
