Santos is interested in negotiating a transfer for the 25-year-old Algerian winger Bilal Brahimi to lighten their wage bill, as the player's salary is nearly R$ 1 million per month. Recently, Apoel Tel Aviv from Israel made a six-month loan offer, but the player turned down the move because he wants to improve his situation at Santos. Brahimi, who has been capped four times for Algeria, joined the club in September 2025 and has a contract until the end of 2026. He has made one appearance in Ligue 1 this season, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €1.50m.
