After a challenging stint at Santos FC, Billal Brahimi has decided to reignite his career in Europe. The 25-year-old Algerian international forward has officially been loaned out until the end of the season to Estrela da Amadora, as confirmed by both clubs.

After being sidelined in Brazil just a few months in, Brahimi now joins the Portuguese league with a purchase option included in the deal, while his contract with Santos is set to expire at the end of the calendar year. The Reboleira club announced the move in an official statement, welcoming the arrival of an experienced attacking reinforcement.

Highly motivated by this new challenge, the player has already outlined his ambitions.
