France-born defender of Cameroonian descent, Sacha Boey, has arrived in Turkey to undergo a medical examination before completing his move to Super Lig giants Galatasaray.
The transfer of the right-back now appears imminent, with multiple media reports confirming that Galatasaray and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement over a loan deal. Despite the winter transfer window having closed in Germany, the move has been made possible because the registration period in Turkey remains open.
Momentum around the deal gathered pace after Turkish journalist Erdem Açıkgöz shared footage of Boey touching down in Istanbul.

The defender is scheduled to undergo a medical examination, widely viewed as the final major step before the transfer is officially announced.
A notable detail from the video quickly caught the attention of fans, with Boey already seen wearing a Galatasaray scarf despite the paperwork yet to be formally completed.
The gesture has been widely interpreted as a strong indication that both parties are confident the move will be finalised without any complications.
If all goes as expected, Galatasaray are set to reinforce their defensive options with the arrival of the former Rennes man, adding further quality and depth as they continue their domestic and continental campaigns.
