Sacha Boey has gone from being a sales candidate at Bayern Munich to an increasingly important player for Germany’s record champions. The Frenchman has started in each of his club’s last three Bundesliga games, impressing in a 4-0 win against Werder Bremen on Matchday 5.
Against Die Grün-Weißen, Boey played the full 90 minutes, completed 80 percent of his passes and created two chances in what was his best performance in a Bayern shirt. But prior to Bayern’s Matchday 6 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, Max Eberl made no secret that Boey would have been sold should he had received an interesting offer.
“We would have considered it if something had happened,” said Eberl. Now, in the absence of Josip Stanišić, Boey has made the right-back position his own. Although this was certainly aided by Alphonso Davies’s injury which has led to Konrad Laimer switching to left-back. While Boey is some way off the €30m valuation Bayern paid Galatasaray in January 2024, the French defender is on an upwards trajectory.
The 25-year-old has featured in every Bundesliga game this season (three substitute appearances in the opening three games) and is finally repaying Kompany and the faith the Belgian has shown in him.
