Bayern Munich: the surprising reason for the sidelining of Sacha Boey

Finally launched! This is what we believed between September and October, when Sacha Boey made 5 consecutive starts in the Bundesliga, at his right-back position. Unfortunately, this good passage is to be put in the aisle of memories, since the 25-year-old Frenchman has not appeared with the Bavarian jersey since November 1 and an entry at the end of the match against Bayer Leverkusen.

What happened to make it disappear from circulation? According to the Münchner Abendzeitungit was a small incident with Vincent Kompany, the Munich coach, which led to the current situation. During a meeting, he would have asked Sacha Boey to prepare to come on, but faced with the player’s slowness in getting into gear, he would have become annoyed to the point of canceling the substitution. And above all, no longer call on the former Rennais!

Clubs on the lookout

Already put on the market last summer, but ultimately remaining at the club, Sacha Boey today seems to no longer be part of his coach’s plans. According to our information, Galatasaray, his previous club, and Crystal Palace are interested in the idea of ​​recovering him. The Premier League side, coached by Oliver Glasner, are currently looking to strengthen their right-back position. Glasner also maintains good relations with Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund.

But Boey has already refused the Palace option in the past. His winter transfer window promises to be hectic in any case given his situation. Linked with Bayern until 2028, he was recruited for €30 million from Galatasaray in January 2024. Today, his market value is around €15 million.
