Marseille are exploring a loan move for Bayern Munich full-back Sacha Boey this summer, according to Foot Mercato.
Bayern acquired the Frenchman for around €35 million last summer following his impressive spell at Galatasaray.
However, Boey’s debut season in the Bundesliga was marred by injuries and a lack of game time.
The 24-year-old made only six starts in 13 games last season.
Boey faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena, and he has been linked with several top European clubs.
Marseille are planning to hand Boey an escape route, but Bayern insist on a permanent sale rather than a loan transfer.
Meanwhile, Boey is determined to fight for his place at Bayern and replicate the fine form he displayed in Turkey.
He is currently enjoying a prolific Club World Cup, netting a goal and an assist in two games. He is eager to maintain the momentum heading into the new season.
If Bayern are to part ways with Boey, it will leave them with Konrad Laimer as the only reliable right-back in the squad.
The Bavarians would try to reinvest in a new full-back in the transfer window, although their priority is currently VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade.
Boey could be a brilliant addition for Marseille, who will be competing in the Champions League next season.
The Frenchman’s style of play makes him a natural fit for Roberto De Zerbi’s possession-based and attacking approach.
Spanish full-back Pol Lirola could leave the Stade Velodrome this summer as he is considered surplus to requirements. Boey would add depth to Marseille’s defensive options.
