Identity

On 8 June 2021, VfB Stuttgart released a statement that revealed that Silas's real name is actually Silas Katompa Mvumpa, and not Silas Wamangituka Fundu as previously thought. Stuttgart believed that Silas's agent had altered Mvumpa's identity to increase the player's dependence on the agent. Furthermore, Silas was revealed to be one year older, with his actual birth year being 1998. He stated that a new agent and club helped him gain the confidence to reveal these details, after having had them held against him as a threat by his previous agent; Stuttgart did not expect any sanctions against the club and player. [1] However, on 11 June, Silas was fined €30,000 and banned for three months by the German Football Association. [13]
