Silas is being linked with a move from VfB Stuttgart to FC Schalke 04, with the transfer currently rated at a 35% probability according to data compiled on 17 November 2025.
The 27-year-old DR Congo right winger, valued at €4.00m, has emerged as a potential target for Schalke as the 2. Bundesliga side explore wide attacking options. Any deal would involve Stuttgart, who retain his registration after recalling him from a loan spell at Red Star Belgrade earlier this year.
Publicly available records do not list a contract expiry date for Silas at Stuttgart, leaving uncertainty over the length of his current agreement and fuelling talk that he could become available on favourable terms if no extension is agreed. For Schalke, a move for a player whose market value has fallen from a €25m peak in 2021 to €4m could represent a calculated gamble.
Silas, born in Kinshasa on 6 October 1998, stands 1.89m tall and operates primarily as a right-sided attacker, preferring his right foot. After starting out at FC MK Etanchéité in DR Congo, he moved to France with Olympique Alès at youth level before progressing through Paris FC B and Paris FC’s first team, then switching to Stuttgart in 2019. A season-long loan to Red Star Belgrade in Serbia preceded his return to the Bundesliga club.
His career trajectory is reflected in a fluctuating market value, which climbed rapidly during his early years in Germany before steadily declining over the past four seasons. Even so, his combination of physical presence and experience in the Bundesliga and abroad may appeal to a Schalke side seeking proven attacking depth in the 2. Bundesliga.
If the move materialises, it could offer Silas a chance to restart his career in a new environment and rebuild his reputation as a decisive wide forward in German football.
