Galatasaray’s championship charge is heating up, but transfer fever is also gripping the Turkish giants. Their star defender, Sacha Boey, seems to be the main attraction, with European giants circling like sharks.

The latest buzz is a report by A Haber that Arsenal contacted Galatasaray about Boey over a potential January move.

Per the source, Boey has attracted growing interest after another impressive season for the Lions. The Frenchman proved himself in the Champions League this season performing well in the group stage.

Boey’s name has been swirling in transfer rumors for months, with other European giants also said to be interested. Now, Arsenal’s reported approach throws fuel on the fire.

Galatasaray, understandably tight-lipped, remain in control of the situation. Boey’s contract runs until 2025, and his €22 million market value ensures they won’t let him go on the cheap.

The Lions want to keep Boey until the end of the season as losing him in January would be difficult to replace at such a crucial stage in the season.

The Super League giants are fighting for both the title and are also competing in the Europa League.

Boey has made it clear in the past that he would like to play in England but he is under contract and is happy at Galatasaray.
