Bayern Munich is actively pursuing options to transfer Sacha Boey, a right-back currently under contract until 2028. The club's efforts come as the summer transfer window for major European leagues has closed, yet the Saudi Pro League remains open, allowing for potential deals.
Recent statements from Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, suggest that while the club is exploring transfer possibilities, they are also prepared to reintegrate Boey into their squad if a move does not materialize. This dual approach highlights the complexity of the situation surrounding the young defender.
According to Christian Falk, a well-regarded journalist with CFBayern Insider, Bayern is in ongoing discussions with clubs from the Saudi Pro League regarding Boey's potential departure. The player himself appears receptive to the idea of moving to Saudi Arabia, which could provide him with new opportunities.
Boey's contract situation is notable; despite being tied to Bayern until 2028, he has faced challenges in securing a stable position within the squad. His recent attempts to transfer included a failed deal to Everton on deadline day, which has added to the urgency of finding a new destination before the Saudi Pro League's transfer window closes on Sunday.
Falk elaborated on the situation, stating, "FC Bayern is in talks with Saudi Arabian clubs to try and finalize a transfer for Sacha Boey after all. The right-back is under contract with the champions until 2028 but is fundamentally open to a move to Saudi Arabia." This openness may facilitate a transfer that could benefit both the player and the club.
Complicating matters further, Boey has recently changed agents, moving from the agency of Bembi Vungbote to that of prominent agent Moussa Sissoko at the start of 2026. Currently, he is reportedly receiving guidance from family members, which may influence his decision-making process in this pivotal moment of his career.
Since joining Bayern in January 2024, Boey has made 37 appearances and scored one goal for the team. His previous loan spell at Galatasaray in the latter half of last season saw him net two goals in 17 matches, but a permanent transfer to the Turkish club did not come to fruition.
With Bayern's current roster, Boey faces stiff competition for playing time. First-choice right-backs include Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanisic, while veteran Joshua Kimmich is also capable of playing in that position. As such, a move away from the Allianz Arena may be in Boey's best interest to secure more regular playing time and further his development as a player.
