Career
Early life
Born in Drancy, France, Silistrie is of Guadeloupean descent. He began his youth development in his hometown before moving to the youth academy of Évreux, a club notable for producing international goalkeepers Steve Mandanda and Brice Samba.[1] In 2018, at the age of 13, Silistrie was recruited by Rennes, officially joining their academy two years later in 2020. He was part of a highly-regarded "2005 generation" at the club that included players such as Mathys Tel, Désiré Doué, and Jeanuël Belocian.[2]
Rennes
Silistrie rose through the ranks of the Rennes academy, gaining prominence during the 2022–2023 Coupe Gambardella campaign.[3] During that tournament, he helped the team reach the semi-finals by winning three consecutive penalty shootouts.[2] Between 2021 and 2025, Silistrie became a fixture for the reserve team, making 34 appearances in the Championnat National 3 and two in the Championnat National 2.[2]
On 4 June 2025, Silistrie signed his first professional contract, a one-year deal with an option for extension.[4] Following the retirement of veteran goalkeeper Steve Mandanda in the summer of 2025, manager Habib Beye promoted Silistrie to the role of second-choice goalkeeper behind Brice Samba.[5] On 21 December 2025, he made his professional debut in a Coupe de France round-of-64 match against Les Sables-d'Olonne,[6] keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 victory.[2] On 8 January 2026, Silistrie signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until June 2029.[7] On 7 February 2026, Silistrie made his Ligue 1 debut in a match against Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. He was selected to start by Habib Beye after the manager chose to drop the regular starter, Brice Samba, for performance and disciplinary reasons.[8]
On 3 July 2026, Silistrie was loaned to Quevilly-Rouen.[9]
