Silas is being linked with a move from VfB Stuttgart to Turkish Süper Lig side Samsunspor, with the potential transfer currently rated at a 54% probability in external data.
The 27-year-old right winger, a DR Congo international, is valued at €4.00m and is the subject of mounting speculation over his future after returning to Stuttgart from a loan spell at Red Star Belgrade earlier in 2025. Figures compiled by Transfermarkt list no contract expiry date for Silas at the Bundesliga club, leaving open the possibility that he could become available as a free agent if no agreement is in place, although that status has not been confirmed.
Samsunspor are reported to be exploring the feasibility of a deal, with Silas seen as a potential addition on the right flank, where he has predominantly operated throughout his career. Any move is likely to be framed against his reduced market value, which has fallen from a peak of €25m during his breakout years at Stuttgart in 2021 to its current €4m assessment.
Born in Kinshasa on 6 October 1998 and standing at 1.89m, Silas has built a varied career path across several European leagues. After leaving FC MK Etanchéité in DR Congo, he moved through Olympique Alès’ youth ranks and Paris FC and Paris FC B in France before joining Stuttgart in 2019. A loan to Red Star Belgrade in 2024-25 added experience in Serbian football to his Bundesliga resume.
With his future in Germany uncertain and his valuation now within reach for ambitious Süper Lig clubs, a switch to Samsunspor could offer Silas a fresh platform to relaunch his career and reshape the trajectory of a talent once regarded as one of Stuttgart’s most valuable attacking assets.
