Overview
- FC Sion has exercised a pre-agreed €3.5 million purchase option for 19-year-old Winsley Boteli and reportedly signed him to a contract through 2030, with Borussia Mönchengladbach receiving the fee.
- Gladbach retained an approximately 10 percent sell-on entitlement that applies to any future transfer fee above the €3.5 million base, creating the potential for additional income if Sion sells Boteli this summer.
- Boteli never made a senior appearance for Gladbach before his loan; he impressed at Sion with about 11 goals in 38 appearances while mostly appearing as a substitute, which helped convince Sion to buy him.
- Reports name Genoa among clubs that have offered higher sums—figures around €7 million have been cited while Sion is said to seek up to €10 million—so an immediate resale by Sion could lift the total proceeds.
- Separately, Gladbach is finalising the exit of goalkeeper Jonas Omlin to FC Basel on a multi-year deal believed to run to 2029 with a medical pending, a move that reduces an overstocked goalkeeper roster and frees wages for summer planning.
