Sacha Boey will remain with FC Bayern for the time being. After the Munich club failed to find a buyer for the right back this summer, the Frenchman remains part of Vincent Kompany’s roster. However, his future is not yet permanently settled.
Boey was on the bench for the 5-0 victory over Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League opener. After the final whistle, sporting director Max Eberl was asked about the 25-year-old’s situation—and made it clear that nothing will change in the current setup for the time being.
“He’s on the roster. He’ll stay here for now. That’s just the way it is,” Eberl explained. At the same time, the Bayern boss hinted at when the situation might be reassessed: “And then we’ll see what happens in the winter.”
This seems to make it clear: Boey will remain part of the Bayern squad at least until the next transfer window.
Bayern wanted to let Boey go this summer
Even during the last transfer window, Boey was considered a candidate for a sale. The Munich club was generally open to letting him go, but a suitable offer never materialized.
At the time, Eberl had pointed out that some transfer markets in Europe’s top leagues remained open after Deadline Day. The situation is now clear: Boey is staying and must try to earn more playing time through his on-field performance.
That won’t be easy for the Frenchman. Kompany has several options at right back. Furthermore, Boey has struggled with injuries time and again since his move to Munich.
FC Bayern signed the fullback from Galatasaray in January 2024, paying approximately 30 million euros to the Istanbul club. Since then, Boey has been unable to consistently live up to the high expectations placed on him.
In total, he has made 37 competitive appearances for the German record champions so far, scoring one goal. His contract at Säbener Straße runs through 2028.
Bayern to make a fresh start in the winter
Boey will inevitably get another chance to prove himself to Kompany by the end of the year. However, the fact that he didn’t see any action against Bodø/Glimt—even in the decisive 5-0 victory—shows just how difficult his current situation on the field is.
The Munich club has already made it clear that, despite his failed attempt to leave in the summer, Boey is to be treated like any other member of the squad. Now it’s up to the right-back to earn playing time through his performance in training.
At the same time, Eberl’s statements leave little doubt that the Frenchman’s future will be back on the table by winter at the latest. “And then we’ll see what happens in the winter.” The sporting director could hardly have summed up the situation any more clearly. This marks the start of a crucial period for Boey at FC Bayern. If he fails to consistently prove himself by the winter break, he may make another push for a transfer.
