On deadline day of the winter market, Fulham failed in their efforts to sign VfB Stuttgart’s Silas Katompa Mvumpa.

Last week, we relayed news from Germany that Marco Silva’s side had submitted an offer and the winger’s agent was in talks with them over a potential deal. It was also stated he was keen on joining Fulham, but a deal didn’t take shape.

Fulham haven’t yet given up on the 25-year-old, according to Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg.

He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state that the Premier League side failed to sign Silas Katompa Mvumpa late in the last window because they offered a loan deal with an obligation to buy set at a €20m. However, the German club wanted €20m immediately.

Plettenberg adds Marco Silva’s side are ‘still pushing’ to sign the DR Congo international in the summer.

The attacker’s deal lasts until 2026 and he’s made 19 appearances this season, with five goals and four assists to his name. It remains to be seen whether €20m would be enough to sign Silas in the next window.

Fulham bolstered their attack by signing Armando Broja from Chelsea on deadline day, while they allowed Carlos Vinícius to join Galatasaray on a loan deal.
