This June marks more than 14 months since the former soccer player of the Mexican national team, Giovani dos Santos, had his last activity in football . And although at his 33 years he is without a team, a new possibility opens on the horizon and he comes from a virgin territory for the midfielder: South America.
And it is that as recently revealed José Auad, candidate for the presidency of the Ecuadorian club Emelec, one of his greatest ambitions is to finalize the signing of dos Santos.
As revealed in an interview for ESPN, the candidate for the top position of the southern team explained that despite the inactivity of the 10, would like to sign the Mexican.
“I want to bring Giovani dos Santos. I have followed it. I know he hasn’t played in months, but I like his style,” he revealed.
However, Auad made it clear that he knows the lifestyle that the lefty likes, although he does not know how he is after a break of more than a year as an inactive player.
“He likes partying, but I don’t know how it goes now,” he commented.
In total there are 14 months from the last time he played a game as a professional. It happened in the Clausura 2021 wearing the América shirt and playing 15 minutes against Tigres UANL, on the day 14 of Liga MX; since then he was removed from the club.
Throughout his career, dos Santos has played for great teams such as Barcelona, Villarreal and Tottenham but after the long break he has had he has thought about retirement.
We will have to wait to see if it is possible for Auad to win the presidency of the Emelec club and give the author of 19 goals one last chance in 106 matches with the Mexican national team.
