Giovani Dos Santos: the Mexican soccer star who is unemployed and devalued
In the last decade, the Mexican Giovani Dos Santos went from enjoying moments of glory to glory in the National Team and European football to become an unemployed player with a depreciated value.
According to estimates by Transfermarkt, the value of the footballer in the transfer market increased from $ 13. $ 7 million, to just $ 1.1 million.

It all started in the 2011, when scored the goal of the final in the Gold Cup in the match between Mexico and the United States , a jewel that catapulted him to stardom.
The following year he enjoyed the honeys of victory by launching himself with the gold medal in the London Olympic Games 2012 next to the Selection of Mexico. A competition where he appeared as a fundamental piece for the Aztec team.
And although in El Tri he played incredibly, in the clubs he seemed not to shine so much . He played in England with Tottenham Spurs and in Spain with Mayorca, Villareal and Barcelona, and then returned to the American continent in 2015 to integrate the ranks of the Galaxy LA.
In the Californian set it had some apexes of greatness, but not what was expected , and the 2019 was hired as one of the best reinforcements in America.
In the Mexican club the injuries were turning off that light of talent that Dos Santos showed. Although he played more than 1. 600 minutes, he only scored three goals in 33 matches.
Due to the bad streak, this year he was separated from America and is currently unemployed.
