The Belgian elite division side have reportedly tabled a bid to the German top-tier campaigners for the signature of the promising teenager of Congolese descent ahead of the forthcoming transfer window
Belgian Pro League club Club Brugge have made an offer of €3.5 million to Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach for the services of Switzerland-born Congolese teenager Winsley Boteli, a report from the German media has indicated.
The 19-year-old, who is currently enjoying a productive loan spell with Swiss Super League outfit FC Sion so far this term, has caught the attention of a host of potential suitors across Europe, with German outfit SC Freiburg, Premier League side Brentford, ltalian Serie A club Genoa, French Ligue 1 outfit Marseille and Swiss top-flight campaigners St. Gallen - all believed to have lined up for his potential signing in the summer.
According to German Newspaper Rheinische Post, the aforestated Belgian suitors have tabled the above-mentioned fee for the services of the DR Congo-prospect centre-forward, with his German parent club open to cashing in on him to appropriate suitors in the next transfer window.
lt is understood that FC Sion are also hell-bent to extend the loan deal of the teenage sensation at the end of the current campaign. However, with the offer being made by their European competitors over the pursuit of their loanee youngster, those in charge of recruitment at the Stade de Tourbillon have reportedly tabled a bid of €3 million for Boteli in an effort to retain him on a permanent basis for the 2026-27 season.
Since linking up with the Sion-based club on a season-long loan in the summer of 2025, the budding star has so far taken in 34 appearances by netting 9 times and setting up another 1 for FC Sion across all contests in this ongoing football season.
Given his Congolese heritage, the Geneva-born native youth star still remains eligible to switch nationality allegiance and play for the DR Congo national football team at the senior level having played for the Switzerland national youth teams in his international career so far.
