The footballer who went through FC Barcelona leads a different life from years ago.

Giovani Dos Santos today is one of the forgotten players in the world of football who could have succeeded in the highest European elite. In fact, he went through Barcelona and Tottenham, but never managed to exploit his great potential due to his irresponsibility off the field, as he had drinking problems and some excesses.

A few months ago it was rumored that he could play football again. He was largely linked to the Kings League. The renowned streamer and owner of the Porcinos FC team, Ibai Llanos, wanted to give him the opportunity to step on a playing field again, but he did not go beyond that rumor. It is that the Mexican always had incredible talent, but he did not have enough professionalism.

At La Masía several trainers dared to say that he was better than Lionel Messi and that he would have an incredible future. However, far from that he was despite the fact that he played 3 World Cups with the Mexican team. The former Barça was left without a team in 2021, after he was no longer considered by América, and since then he has not joined any more squads.

The new life of Giovani Dos Santos in the networks

He is currently without a team due to the high figures he asks for as a salary. In December 2022, he reappeared in the Mexico shirt to record a Tik Tok video with 'Dr. Simi', a character from the Mexican national team. Although the recording caused laughter, the soccer player was attacked, as some users pointed out that he did not accept offers to play again.
