VfB snap up Gil Dias

Gil Dias has joined VfB Stuttgart from Benfica with immediate effect. The 26-year-old wide-man, who has won 10 caps for Portugal’s U21 side, spent time in Serie A in Italy, Ligue 1 in France and La Liga in Spain before joining Benfica. The left-footer has signed a contract until 30 June 2025 and will wear the number 31 jersey.

“We want to steer the game in the right direction”

“It’s better to compete against the best”

Narrow defeat in Bremen

“In Gil Dias, we’re signing a player who can be used in multiple wide positions. In the short term we’re reacting to the injury to Tiago Tomás, but he is also a valuable addition to our squad in the long term. We warmly welcome him to VfB.”
