Arsenal have reportedly made a firm €14m offer for Galatasaray’s 22-year-old right-back, Sacha Boey, as the club looks to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the new season.
- Arsenal have made an official offer of €14m for Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey.
- Boey, keen to play in the Premier League, is likely to leave Galatasaray this summer.
- Arsenal’s relationship with Galatasaray, established during Lucas Torreira’s transfer, could facilitate Boey’s move.
Arsenal have reportedly ramped up their expressed interest in Galatasaray’s 22-year-old right-back, Sacha Boey.
According to a report from Turkey, the Gunners made an official offer of €14m, marking the start of negotiations between the two clubs.
While Galatasaray are demanding a fee of €20m for the young French player, Arsenal’s offer is an initial sign of intent.
Galatasaray’s vice-president Erden Timur, who had previously facilitated the transfer of Lucas Torreira to the Turkish club, was expected to hold talks with Arsenal during a trip to London.
This established relationship could prove beneficial in the negotiations for Boey.
Reports suggest Arsenal are prepared to increase their offer for Boey, though it is yet to be confirmed whether they will meet Galatasaray’s €20m demand.
Despite the gap in valuations, the transfer seems likely as Boey himself is interested in a move to the Premier League.
The successful transfer of Boey would be a significant addition to Arsenal’s squad, and particularly for Mikel Arteta’s defensive plans.
With the player and both clubs reportedly in favour of the move, the probability of Boey’s transfer to Arsenal this summer seems high.
As the negotiations continue, all eyes will be on this potential new addition to the Premier League.
