Bayern Munich on the verge of completing a deal for Galatasaray Star defender
Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Kieran Trippier has taken an unexpected twist, culminating in the German champions securing the services of young French right-back Sacha Boey from Galatasaray.
The operation, initially aimed at acquiring Trippier from Newcastle, has seen Bayern redirect their efforts towards the 23-year-old talent.
After Galatasaray rebuffed Bayern’s initial offer of €15 million plus €5 million in objectives, the German giants have upped the ante, placing a substantial €30 million on the table – the amount initially demanded by Galatasaray. This surpasses the bid Bayern made for Trippier, underlining the club’s strong interest in the French defender.
The decision to pursue Sacha Boey over Trippier is attributed to the Frenchman’s youthfulness, presenting Bayern with a long-term solution for their right-back position. Despite Trippier being the initial preference, negotiations faltered, leading Bayern to intensify their pursuit of Boey.
Reports suggest that Bayern Munich have a contract ready for Boey, awaiting a final agreement with Galatasaray. A private jet has already landed in Turkey, poised to transport Boey to Munich for a swift medical, emphasizing the urgency in reinforcing Bayern’s squad, especially with recent injuries to key players.

Negotiations are ongoing, adding a layer of suspense to Bayern’s efforts to secure Boey’s signature.
