Bilal Brahimi’s debut disappointed Santos fans. The forward has played only one match wearing the Peixe shirt and was rated poorly in a poll conducted by Gazeta Esportiva.
77% of internet users stated that the Algerian had a “terrible” performance. 14.8% voted “bad,” 3.3% “average,” 3.3% “good,” and 1.6% “excellent.”
The Algerian made his debut on September 28, just four days after being announced. He came on in the second half of the 2-2 draw with Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the forward has only 20 minutes on the field wearing the black and white shirt.
Since his debut, Brahimi has not left the bench in seven league matches. The forward’s situation worsened when he was no longer even included in the squad for Santos’ matches in the competition. In the last six games for Peixe, he was left out even of coach Vojvoda’s substitutes.
Preferring to play wide on the right, Billal Brahimi faces competition from Barreal, who has been one of Santos’ main standouts in recent games, and Gustavo Caballero.
The Algerian was a bet by the board for this second half of 2025. He arrived at Peixe on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Nice, France. The contract runs until the end of 2026.
