"Silas' position at VfB Stuttgart remains unchanged, according to the counselor's declaration"
VfB Stuttgart's Silas Katompa Mvumpa is on the brink of a permanent move away from the club this summer, with Turkish Süper Lig clubs showing a keen interest.
Two Turkish clubs, Fenerbahçe and Samsunspor, have expressed their desire to sign the 26-year-old striker, who is currently in the final year of his contract at Stuttgart. The club values Silas at around €8 million, a fee that matches the amount they paid to acquire him from Paris FC in 2019.
Fenerbahçe has initiated talks with Stuttgart, while Samsunspor has also made a formal offer. However, it remains unclear if the latter's offer meets Stuttgart's asking price. Reports suggest that if a suitable buyer is not found soon, Stuttgart might be willing to accept a lower fee or consider cutting ties outright.
Silas' transfer prospects have been affected by recurring serious injuries. Last season, he was on loan at Red Star Belgrade, where he scored 5 goals and recorded 1 assist in 16 league matches.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Silas has been training diligently in Stuttgart, working on a comeback after his ankle fracture. His agent, Memet Eser, has stated that Silas will give his best in training and hopes that it will be recognized.
Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth will evaluate Silas' comeback chances at VfB Stuttgart only after his recovery, while coach Sebastian Hoeneß has left Silas' future open.
