Santos was "creative" in making an official announcement of a "different" signing this Wednesday (24).

The French-Algerian forward Billal Brahimi, 25, signed with Peixe until December of next year.

He "became" just Brahimi at the Vila Belmiro club.

Which did not go unnoticed by fans and rivals.

He was a free agent and had already been registered with the CBF.

See the beginning of the announcement below.

Billal Brahimi was discovered by Middlesbrough before playing for Reims, Le Mans, Angers, Nice (in three stints), Brest, and the Belgian Sint-Truiden.

His best season in terms of numbers was 2020/21, when he was loaned to Le Mans by Reims.

He played 34 games, scoring 12 goals and providing one assist for the club competing in the French Third Division.


The crowd didn't forgive...

The "tactic" by Peixe to avoid puns was immediately noticed.
