Crystal Palace rule out Sacha Boey move
Crystal Palace will not launch a move to sign 25-year-old French right-back Sacha Boey from Bayern Munich in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Sky Sports journalist James Savundra, Sacha Boey is not the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. The Eagles are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a new right-wing-back in the winter transfer window. However, the 25-year-old Bayern Munich wide player is no longer a target for the South London outfit.
The update has revealed that while the 2024/25 FA Cup winners are “assessing right-wing-back options this month, the Frenchman is not thought to be one of them” despite recent links. Boey is available for a move this month after becoming a peripheral figure at Bayern Munich.
How has Sacha Boey fared at Bayern Munich?
Sacha Boey has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Bayern Munich from Galatasaray in a deal worth €30 million in January 2024. The 25-year-old has primarily been a backup player for the Bavarian outfit, and he has not started a game in the 2025/26 season since October.
The French full-back has not even managed 50 appearances thus far for Bayern Munich while chipping in with only one goal and five assists. So, it is hardly surprising that Boey faces an uncertain future at the Bundesliga club. However, the player’s stock remains high, with Premier League clubs showing interest in him. However, Crystal Palace will not be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the winter transfer window.
London calling? Not quite
Crystal Palace’s links with Sacha Boey made sense. The Eagles have been scouring the market for a new right-wing-back heading into the winter transfer window, as Daniel Munoz is on the sidelines for the foreseeable future due to a knee injury. Additionally, the Colombian international faces an uncertain future at Selhurst Park amid his links with several bigwigs.
So, Crystal Palace cannot afford to be caught off guard, and they have thus set their sights on several candidates, including Joao Mario. However, while widespread reports also linked the South London outfit with Boey, the latest report has revealed that they will not pursue the Frenchman in the winter transfer window.
While the 2024/25 FA Cup winners are “assessing right-wing-back options this month, the Frenchman is not thought to be one of them” despite the recent links. However, with Boey not having a long-term future at Bayern Munich, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the French full-back after the latest Crystal Palace update.
