Christian Falk reported that while Hamburg and Fulham were interested in 25-year-old French right-back Sacha Boey, the most concrete interest came from Everton, who were said to be very close to a deal. According to the journalist, talks were held with Bayern Munich, but the move was ultimately called off after Everton opted to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lille on deadline day, a decision which was a setback for Bayern as they had expected to sell the player. Boey joined Bayern from Galatasaray in January 2024 for a reported €30 million and his contract runs until 2028. Bayern Munich reportedly set a transfer fee of €15 million for the player in August 2026, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m.
