Brahimi's European Comeback: Loan to Estrela!
3 Feb
Summary
- Billal Brahimi joins Estrela da Amadora on loan.
- He struggled for game time at Brazilian club Santos.
- Estrela da Amadora currently sits 12th in the league.
Algerian international Billal Brahimi has made a surprising return to European football, joining Portuguese club Estrela da Amadora on loan until the conclusion of the current season. This move comes after Brahimi experienced a stagnant period at Brazilian club Santos, where opportunities for playing time were scarce.
The 25-year-old winger, who has four caps for Algeria, spent a significant portion of his earlier career in France, representing clubs such as Le Mans FC, Stade de Reims, Angers SCO, and Nice. His transition to Brazil in September 2025 was intended to reignite his career, a path less traveled by many Algerian players.
However, the adventure in Brazil proved challenging for Brahimi, with only a single appearance recorded since his arrival. His new club, Estrela da Amadora, is currently positioned 12th in the Portuguese league, having accumulated 20 points from 20 matches played.
