Galatasaray is reportedly looking to Belgium for another forward option as it strengthens its attack. The Turkish club, which recently made headlines with the transfer of Rafael Leão, is said to be interested in Winsley Boteli, who plays for Sion.

Boteli Mokango was born in Switzerland on July 5, 2006, and represents the Swiss national team. He began his development in Servette’s youth system before joining the Borussia Mönchengladbach academy on July 1, 2022.

During the 2023-24 U19 Bundesliga season, Boteli scored 19 goals in 19 matches and finished as the league’s top scorer. Borussia Mönchengladbach extended his contract through 2028 on July 5, 2024, and moved him to its reserve team in the Regionalliga for the 2024-25 season.

On June 25, 2025, Boteli joined Sion on a one-year loan that included an option to buy. Galatasaray’s reported interest would give the young Swiss international another possible move as the club considers options behind Osimhen.
