SC Freiburg are being linked with a move for Switzerland and DR Congo-eligible centre-forward Winsley Boteli from Borussia Mönchengladbach II.

The 19-year-old, who is valued at €1.00m, is the subject of speculation over a possible switch from the Regionalliga West side to the Bundesliga club, according to data recorded on 10 April 2026. The reported probability of the transfer is listed as “?”, underlining that talks are at a very early and uncertain stage.

Boteli, born on 5 July 2006 in Genève and standing at 1.84m, operates primarily as a central striker and is right-footed. He holds dual nationality, with both Switzerland and DR Congo listed among his nationalities, and is viewed as a developing attacking talent after featuring for M’gladbach’s second team in Germany’s fourth tier.

His market valuation of €1.00m reflects his status as a promising prospect rather than an established top-flight forward, which could make him an attractive, low-risk target for Freiburg as they assess options for their attacking depth. With no contract expiry date specified in the current data, it is unclear whether Boteli could be available on a free agent basis or whether a transfer fee would be required.

Boteli is currently registered with FC Sion and wears the number 13 shirt, with the Swiss club also listed as his national team affiliation in the data. That crossover, alongside his previous spell at M’gladbach II, highlights a still-evolving career path that has already taken him through both Swiss and German systems.

Statistical details of his most recent appearances, including specific opponents, scorelines and individual performance, are not provided in the available information, but his presence in a competitive European environment at 19 underpins the interest.

If a move to Freiburg does materialise, stepping up from the Regionalliga West to the Bundesliga setup would represent a significant leap and could be a defining moment in Boteli’s development and long-term reputation.
