FC Sion has signed Winsley Boteli for 3.5 million euros. The 19-year-old will continue to play for FC Sion in the Swiss league. Sportchef Rouven Schröder said: "We are happy for Winsley and for FC Sion that the loan has been so positive for him." "And we give this transfer to an early point further sporting planning security and the possibility to invest in the squad." Now it will be interesting for Borussia whether Sion will sell the 19-year-old or keep him. The Swiss were watching the cup final on Sunday: Through the win of FC St. Gallen, Sion qualified for the Conference League. Larger clubs like FC Brügge have Boteli in their sights, who scored eight league goals in only 651 minutes in the past season. The Belgian champion delivered an example of a transfer strategy two years ago: Brügge bought the Greek shooting star Christos Tzolis for 6.5 million euros from Fortuna Düsseldorf, who had only a few weeks earlier bought him for 3.5 million euros through a buyout option. Tzolis is now worth 30 million euros. ## Gladbach: What the transfer fee for Winsley Boteli brings Which way will Boteli take? Borussia will have a 10% share of the profit from the sale. According to our information, Sion is aiming for 10 million euros, which would correspond to a profit of 6.5 million euros. The high sum is justified solely by the contract duration, as Boteli has a contract with Sion until 2030. Genua CFC is currently considering an offer of 7 million euros. Maybe Boteli will also stay in the Swiss league for another year, where he has not been a regular player so far, the possible qualification for the Conference League would further increase the prospect of playing time. First, Boteli's words do not sound like a quick departure: "I am very happy to be able to continue playing for FC Sion. Since my arrival, I have had great trust from the club staff and the fans. This season has allowed me to make enormous progress, and I am convinced that there is still much to come. I want to continue to develop with this team and give everything for this jersey." Already now, the change at Borussia has a significant importance, which Schröder emphasized with his words. Boteli, who was brought to Gladbach from the youth of Servette Genf four years ago, helps the Gladbachers to conclude several deals early in the summer. Daniel Batz has come to Gladbach free of charge from Mainz 05, David Herold for 3.5 million euros from Karlsruher SC, Cost-free content Zento Uno from Shimizu S-Pulse is to come for a six-figure amount from Japan and the transfer of Yukhym Konoplya (free of charge from Schachtar Donezk) is imminent. To remember: Last year, Borussia was not able to dissolve the significantly lower exit clause of Shuto Machino at Holstein Kiel.
