Giovanni dos Santos who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. The 35-year-old was once called the “next Messi.” Born in Mexico, he joined the Barcelona Academy in Spain at the age of 13. He represented Mexico at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup and won the title.
Santos made his senior debut in 2006 at the age of 17 with Barcelona B, and the following year he wore a La Liga Barcelona uniform.
Ahead of the 2008-09 season, Santos moved to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. However, he failed to display notable performance for four seasons due to an ankle injury. He left on loan due to his college entrance position and Galatasia, and transferred to other teams including Thrane Mallorca, but failed to display stellar performance.
However, he participated again as a member of the Mexican national team at the 2012 London Olympics, and won the gold medal. He is also a Century member who played more than 100 games for the Mexican national team. He retired in 2021 with the Mexican professional team.
Three years after leaving soccer, Santos’ recent news was reported to the media. Recently, British media reported that “a 35-year-old Tottenham failure became an oil tycoon three years after retirement.”
According to the article, 비아그라, who became an oil tycoon (OIL TYCOON), paid a transfer fee of £9 million when Tottenham hired him.
As mentioned earlier, he played for Tottenham for four seasons but played in only 33 matches. He had three goals. He also scored four goals in the Champions League when he was a member of Ipswich, which he left on loan.
Santos, who did not see much light due to injury, is said to have made a new life in Mexico after retirement, and it was a big hit.
After retiring in 2021, Santos began a business selling luxury cars in his home country. With the money he earned at this time, he invested in a Mexican state-owned oil company’s affiliates and secured a large sum of money.
Santos invested in Mexico’s state-owned oil company, Pemex, Latin America’s second-largest oil company, which reportedly earns up to 400,000 pounds a year. It is said to be worth more than $10 million in Mexico, where the peso is used, although it is only two weeks’ worth of money for Premier League players.
