Bayern Munich win the race to sign French defender Sacha Boey amid interest from Manchester United
In a swift turn of events, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray have reached a verbal agreement to transfer 23-year-old Sacha Boey to the Allianz Arena. The news comes from reliable sources, including Florian Plettenberg and Fabrizio Romano, who have been closely monitoring the developments of the deal.
The completion of paperwork appears to be a mere formality at this point. Fabrizio Romano runs a parallel update notifying how the contract situation remains completed.
According to additional details provided by Plettenberg, Boey signs a substantial five-and-a-half-year contract, binding him to Bayern Munich until 2029. The financial aspect of the transfer is in the range of “€28-29m all-in”.
This development comes at a crucial juncture for Manchester United, who have seen themselves grappled with defensive frailties and a lack of viable options, particularly in the right-back position. The club’s current right-back options, Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, have faced scrutiny for inconsistent performances and a lack of depth.
Oh, Bo(e)y!
The potential addition of Boey could have offered valuable reinforcement, injecting healthy competition and addressing a pressing concern for the Red Devils.

The impending acquisition of Boey by Bayern Munich reshapes the dynamics of the transfer window, prompting further scrutiny of United’s defensive strategies and potential moves in the quest for defensive stability.
