Everton came extremely close to signing Bayern defender Sacha Boey, according to reports. Despite Bayern Munich informing Boey that he was free to join another club, the English side held extensive talks with the German giants about a potential transfer. However, Everton ultimately decided to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lille.
Hamburger SV and Fulham were also reportedly interested in the right-back. Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund stated that Boey's behavior and character have always been impeccable, and the club's original plan had been different. Freund also noted that while the situation may have been different if transfer windows remained open in other countries like Turkey or Saudi Arabia, Boey's future at Bayern Munich appears more likely as the windows close.
