FC Bayern is trying to transfer Sacha Boey.
The right-back from Galatasaray should arrive soon.
The change is still a problem.
Munich - It is said that all good things come in threes.
But does this also apply to Bayern's search for a right-back?
The Munich team is already looking for the third player who could fill the vacant position in January.
Current desired transfer: Sacha Boey (23/contract until 2025) from Galatasaray Istanbul.
FC Bayern wants to sign Boey
The Frenchman has already agreed on contract details with FC Bayern.
Boey really wants to move to the German record champions.
According to Turkish media reports, a private jet from Ataturk Airport to Oberpfaffenhofen, where FCB newcomers have often landed in the past, was already ready yesterday.
However, the planned afternoon flight was canceled at Galatasaray's request.
The crux of the matter: the transfer fee.
The Turks rejected FC Bayern's first offer of 15 million euros on Thursday evening.
They demand at least a guaranteed 30 million euros.
Yesterday, the people of Munich came close to this amount again.
The tz
cannot confirm
an agreement, as Turkish journalists reported on Friday afternoon .
But the fact is: all parties hope for an agreement soon.
Nevertheless, Thomas Tuchel (50) did not expect it to be completed quickly.
“I don’t think any player will become a Bayern Munich player today,” said the coach on Friday afternoon, referring to the transfer efforts.
Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk (50) was more open about the change of his top performer.
“Of course, as a coach, I’m not necessarily in favor of Sacha leaving.
But if the conditions and a significant sum arise regarding the future of the club, then we have our president and a board of directors who will evaluate it," said the Gala coach after the game against Istanbulspor (3-1), in which Boey on Thursday evening - allegedly because of a foot injury - was not used.
The decision of the Presidium will be respected, said Buruk.
Galatasaray insider raves about Boey
In the two group games in the current Champions League season between Bayern and Galatasaray (3:1, 2:1), Boey left a lasting impression on those responsible in Munich.
“He is probably one of the best right-backs at the moment,” says Onur Dincer, Galatasaray reporter for the Turkish newspaper Milliyet, to
tz
.
“Boey is dynamic, fast, athletically good and has a great urge to move forward.” His technical skills are not perfect, “but they are good,” said Dincer.
And defensively?
“With his speed he can chase opponents until the end.”
A commitment from Boey has become a concrete topic in Munich after a move from Kieran Trippier (33) to FC Bayern fell through.
Premier League club Newcastle United has rejected an offer worth around 15 million euros.
“It would have been a bad decision to accept the offer,” said Newcastle coach Eddie Howe (46) on Friday.
Bayern also tried hard to recruit Nordi Mukiele (26).
But the negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain were complicated.
Boey is therefore Plan C. After the injury to Konrad Laimer (26) and the absence of Noussair Mazroaui (26/Africa Cup), he should resolve the problems in the right-back position - and not be thrown out of Plan G as well.
