Bayern Munich are still hoping to sell defender Sacha Boey despite the summer transfer window closing in Europe's top leagues. According to a report from Sky, the French full-back remains a candidate for a move to a country where the deadline is still open.
The club's management, including sporting director Max Eberl, made it clear to Boey at the start of pre-season that he would not feature in Vincent Kompany's plans. From an initial trio of unwanted players, Bayern have already offloaded João Palhinia and Bryan Zaragoza. Only the 25-year-old Frenchman has yet to find a solution, with neither a permanent transfer nor a loan materialising.
Which countries are still options?
There are still realistic destinations for Sacha Boey. The transfer window closes later in several European leagues over the coming days. Specifically, Scotland, Austria, and Belgium on September 3rd, Turkey on September 4th, Portugal on September 5th, Saudi Arabia on September 6th, and Switzerland on September 8th. These markets offer the German record champions a final opportunity to move the player on.
Bayern signed Boey from Galatasaray in January 2024 for a transfer fee of 30 million euros. His market value is now estimated to be only around ten million euros. A sale in the remaining days would therefore mean a significant financial loss, similar to the recent transaction of Palhinia to Benfica for 14 million euros.
Why has Boey become surplus?
Under new head coach Vincent Kompany, Sacha Boey has no future in the Bayern Munich squad. The club has other options at full-back. Joshua Kimmich and Noussair Mazraoui are established on the right side, while Alphonso Davies and Raphaël Guerreiro cover the left. The current squad overview shows the strong competition for places.
Boey made only a handful of appearances last season and failed to establish himself. His contract with Bayern runs until June 30, 2028. Staying would mean the club continues to pay his salary without any sporting benefit. A departure is therefore the stated goal from both an economic and sporting perspective.
What's next for Bayern on the pitch?
As transfer activity winds down, the focus shifts entirely to the ongoing season. Vincent Kompany's team is preparing for its next competitive matches. The Bundesliga campaign is already underway, and Bayern aim to reclaim the title. The current standings show the tight race at the top of the table.
Bayern's next match is a Bundesliga home game. The date is already set and can be viewed on the fixtures page. The squad is currently training at full strength, aside from injured players listed on the injuries page. For Sacha Boey, the possibilities for a move will end no later than September 8th with the closure of the Swiss transfer window.
