Galatasaray has rejected Arsenal’s initial offer for Sacha Boey, indicating their desire for a higher transfer fee.
The Gunners have identified the talented right-back as a player they wish to add to their squad at the conclusion of this season.
Mikel Arteta plans to transition Ben White into a central role next season and has concerns about the injury-prone Takehiro Tomiyasu, leading to their interest in Boey.
Arsenal has been monitoring the Frenchman for a while and anticipates making a move for him in the summer transfer window.
However, The Daily Mail reports that Galatasaray has turned down Arsenal’s opening bid of £14 million.
The Turkish club is holding out for a fee exceeding £20 million for the young defender, and they appear confident in receiving an offer within that range from one of Boey’s numerous suitors.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Galatasaray knows we are a top club in need of reinforcements, so they will not be in the mood to help us in any way.
Several clubs are also keen on Boey, encouraging his present club to continue demanding a top fee.
If he is one of our key targets, we must be prepared to pay that much for him. Otherwise, we can turn to our other transfer targets.

If our dear only Arsenal want to add Sacha Boey to their ranks in the summer when the window opens to sign him.
But it’s already looked like they want him as they’ve tabled a whooping £14m to his club side Gala Galatasary to sign their player Sacha Boey.
But which Galatasary have rejected in a bid to squeeze more money from Arsenal by exploding them financially before they’ll allow their player to join them.
This is the usual kind of a thing of exploitation of money in a transfer window which Arsenal use to face from club sides.
Who have formed the habit of trying hard as much as they can to undeseversingly get money from Arsenal that doesn’t equate to the quality of their player who Arsenal want to sign.
As often than not, they hike the price of the player since is the money rich Arsenal that want him.
What of Danilo? A Dmf who Arsenal wanted to sign from a Brazilian club side last time. Arsenal were reported to have tabled £20m to sign him if I am not mistaken. But which they rejected to hold out for £40 for Arsenal to pay. But only for them to later sell him to Nottingham Forest for less than £20m.
But if Arsenal seriously want this guy Sacga Boey in the summer. I will say, they should close their eyes to go back to Galatasary for him with a 2nd bid of £17.5m to sign him. Which to me is quite a reasonable buying fee retabled by Arsenal to sigh the young right back. But who has no Premier League experience before he could join Arsenal in the summer to play in the hardest League in the world.
And hopefully, Galatasary too will reasonable in their asking price to Arsenal to pay them for their player.
I hope an entourage from Arsenal will be watching our own Norton-Cuffy in the Championship play off this weekend.He is very similar to Boey, who I consider to be a “flashy” player who is not the best defensively.Coventry play a better brand of football than their opponents Luton who depend a lot on set pieces to score.Should be a good game.
More than a fair shout Grandad
I have been saying that he is good enough to make the Ist team squad.
@Grandad,all our players out on loans are carefully monitored by our loan manager/department and most probably by MA.so there must be a reason why they scouted and bid for him??
