Galatasaray is poised to trigger its €15 million purchase option for Sacha Boey, the French full-back currently on loan from FC Bayern Munich, according to multiple verified reports from February 2026. The move would make the transfer permanent ahead of the defender’s contract expiry with Bayern in June 2028.
The Turkish club secured Boey on a season-long loan in January 2026, with the agreement including a purchase option reportedly set at €15 million. Bavarian Football Works first reported the detail on February 5, 2026, citing Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, who noted that while an official announcement was pending, the clubs had reached agreement on the loan structure. Plettenberg initially reported a €2 million loan fee but later revised it to €500,000, with Galatasaray assuming responsibility for Boey’s salary during the loan spell.
Boey, 25, joined Bayern Munich from Galatasaray in January 2024 for an undisclosed fee and signed a contract running until June 30, 2028. His return to Istanbul on loan marks a swift reversal of fortunes for the right-back, who has made limited appearances for the Bundesliga side since his transfer. The loan move was confirmed by Bayern Munich’s official website on February 17, 2026, stating Boey had joined Galatasaray “on loan until the end of the season.”
Galatasaray’s interest in retaining Boey stems from his familiarity with the club and the Süper Lig, having played for them prior to his Bayern move. The €15 million option, if exercised, would represent a significant outlay for the Turkish champions but falls short of the fee Bayern likely paid to secure his services in 2024. Bavarian Football Works noted that Bayern “won’t recoup all it spent” on Boey if Galatasaray proceeds with the purchase, implying the original transfer fee exceeded €15 million.
The defender has featured intermittently for Bayern this season, including a appearance in the UEFA Champions League League Phase match against PSV Eindhoven on January 28, 2026, where he was pictured warming up at the PSV Stadion. Reports from that match indicated Boey left training midweek for a medical examination, though no injury was officially cited — a step later contextualized as part of the loan process.
For Bayern, the loan and potential sale free up squad space and generate revenue amid ongoing squad restructuring. The club has been active in the winter transfer window, balancing departures with financial fair play considerations. Boey’s departure, whether temporary or permanent, aligns with Bayern’s strategy to offload players who have struggled to secure regular starting roles under Vincent Kompany.
Galatasaray, meanwhile, continues to build on its domestic dominance, having led the Süper Lig table throughout the 2025-26 season. Securing Boey permanently would bolster their defensive options ahead of Champions League knockout stage qualification and provide continuity in a back line that has relied on experienced campaigners.
As of mid-February 2026, Boey remains with Galatasaray ahead of the loan’s expiration at season’s end. No official confirmation of the purchase option exercise has been issued by either club, but reports consistently indicate the agreement is in place and awaiting final administrative steps. The next checkpoint will be Galatasaray’s official announcement, expected before the close of the 2025-26 campaign in May 2026.
