Morocco’s Raja add Brazilian forward Luis Felipe on three-year deal

Raja Club Athletic have strengthened their attack with the signing of Brazilian forward Luis Felipe Silva from Fluminense ahead of the 2026-27 season.

The 21-year-old has agreed a three-year contract with the Casablanca club, with his arrival expected to be formally presented to supporters in the coming days.

Moroccan reports, including Chouf TV, say Luis Felipe has completed the agreement with Raja after putting pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029.

Brazilian youngster arrives in Casablanca

Born Luis Felipe Silva dos Anjos on 7 January 2005, the forward developed in the Brazilian football system and spent part of his youth career with Fluminense.

Brazilian football records show that he represented Fluminense at both Under-17 and Under-20 level, while the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro also registered him as part of the club’s youth structure.

His move to Raja represents the next stage of his development and his first opportunity to play professionally in Moroccan football.

Raja continue summer rebuilding

Luis Felipe’s arrival is part of Raja’s wider efforts to reshape their squad before the new campaign.

The Casablanca club have been active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen several areas of the team and compete for major domestic honours.

The Brazilian is expected to provide the coaching staff with another young option in attack once the remaining administrative procedures are completed.

He will then join first-team preparations and compete for regular playing time as Raja begin their preparations for the new season.

Brazilian faces new challenge in Morocco

Luis Felipe will now have to adapt to a new footballing environment after spending his development years in Brazil.

His three-year agreement gives him an opportunity to establish himself in Moroccan football and potentially become an important part of Raja’s attacking plans.

The club have not disclosed the financial details of the transfer.

Raja are expected to officially introduce their new Brazilian signing before he joins the squad for preparations ahead of their upcoming domestic commitments.
