Manchester United are reported to be eyeing Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey ahead of the summer transfer window.
Right-back appears to be a priority area for Manchester United to strengthen this summer, judging by all the names linked with a move.
Following talks with Jeremie Frimpong and Benjamin Pavard [The Athletic] a new name linked is Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey.
Turkish-football report Manchester United have made an enquiry with Galatasaray over a summer move for the defender.
Manchester United eye Sacha Boey
Galatasaray signed Sacha Boey for just £1 million from French side Rennes last summer. He has quickly established himself as a regular in the Turkish Super Lig.
Boey, 22, is part of a Galatasaray side which currently sit six point clear at the top of the league.
Turkish-football‘s report claims Galatasaray responded to United’s enquiry by stating they would seek 20m Euros (£17m) for Boey this summer.
He is a France under-21 international who is also eligible to play for Cameroon, who have expressed interest in calling him up.
Both Arsenal and Newcastle are said to have also been linked to the defender, who is averaging 2.9 tackles per game this season.
Boey says he chose a move to Galatasaray ahead of an option to head to Celtic last summer.
He told L’Equipe: “Yes, Celtic wanted to sign me. When I had to make a decision, I chose Galatasaray because it was a bigger club. That’s why I chose Galatasaray.
“I know Galatasaray from my childhood and the matches they played in Europe. There were games they played against PSG before. I came to Turkey to improve myself and I will do the necessary work to achieve this.”
His move appears to be paying off, now catching the attention of Manchester United.
United’s potential move depends on a lot. Question marks remain over the futures of both Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Boey is just one candidate United are assessing.
He appears to be at the cheaper end of the scale of the options, and United’s budget will depend somewhat on how much ends up being spent on a striker.
