Though Bayern Munich have a fairly small squad, unfortunately not every player is vitally important to the Bavarians. This seems to be the case with Sacha Boey, whose last appearance for the Bavarians,
at the time of writing, came on November 1 in a 15 minute cameo. Since then, he has been either moored to the bench or mysteriously ruled out through illness. It does not take a genius to see that Boey is heading to the exit door.
But where will he go? How much will he cost? Reporter Florian Plettenberg recently reported on the matter:
FC Bayern remain open to a departure for Sacha Boey already in the winter and are currently demanding up to €20 million on the market. Boey has so far rejected many enquiries and is only willing to move to a club with a top perspective. Crystal Palace are interested but nothing is advanced and there are currently no negotiations. Galatasaray are closely monitoring the situation. Bayern want at least a loan with an obligation [to] buy.
If Bayern amortized the transfer fee they paid Galatasaray for Boey (30 million guaranteed, plus a potential 5 million in bonuses, as Gala’s official website confirmed), then a standard amortization process would see them owe the Turkish club roughly around €20 million at this point in time. Ergo, if Bayern could sell him for that amount, they would not lose money right now by selling him.
Crystal Palace do need a player in that position. They are heading into the Europa Conference League playoffs with just 1 player regularly trusted to play in the position in Daniel Muñoz, who is reportedly courting heavy interest from other clubs. Whether or not Boey is the right man for the job, however, remains to be seen.
