FC Bayern Munich's pursuit of 23-year-old French right-back Sacha Boey from Galatasaray Istanbul seems to be nearing fruition.
Sky Germany are now reporting that a verbal agreement has been reached between the player and the German giants. Valued at €22 million, Boey is expected to undergo a medical in Munich, signalling a potential imminent transfer.
The Bavarian club's interest in Boey intensified, especially with the absence of makeshift right-back Konrad Laimer due to injury ahead of their fixture against Augsburg this weekend. Despite failed attempts to secure Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier and a stalemate in negotiations with PSG's Nordi Mukiele, Bayern are moving swiftly to bolster their defensive line-up.
Initially, Bayern's interest waned due to Galatasaray's insistence on a permanent transfer. However, recent developments suggest the possibility of a loan deal with a purchase option, indicating ongoing negotiations between the two clubs. Boey's absence from Galatasaray's recent fixture was attributed to a foot injury, although it's speculated that the player's impending move could also be a contributing factor.
With Bayern Munich's proactive approach in the transfer market, the potential acquisition of Sacha Boey signifies a strategic move to reinforce their squad for the challenges ahead.
As Boey prepares for his medical in Munich, club fans await official confirmation of the deal, anticipating the French defender's potential impact in Bayern's quest for silverware.
