Silas, a 27-year-old winger from DR Congo who was previously an important player for VfB, is no longer favored at the club. As he is a high earner, there is an urgent expectation that he will depart, but there has been a recent lack of specific inquiries. Interest in the player has come from Schalke 04, Hamburger SV, and Werder Bremen. There is uncertainty about Silas's fitness following a more serious ankle injury. His contract with VfB Stuttgart is valid until June 2026, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €3.00m. He has been capped 20 times for his country, scoring one goal. In mid-to-late 2025, reports indicated VfB Stuttgart's asking price was around €8 million.
