Giovani dos Santos has been one of the most prominent Mexican footballers of the 21st century, thanks to his talent and goal-scoring ability that led him to play for important teams in Europe. Emerging from Barcelona's youth academy, dos Santos shone in the Under-17 World Cup with the Mexican national team. Despite all his qualities, he never managed to stand out on a global level, despite having shared a locker room with great figures such as Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and Rafa Márquez in his early days at Barcelona.
Since leaving América in 2021, Giovani dos Santos has not returned to professional play. Without officially announcing his retirement, he has focused on maximizing the earnings he obtained during his football career. It has recently been reported that Dos Santos has ventured into the business world and has significant earnings in that area.
According to El Universal Deportes, the former Tottenham player is a partner of PEMEX through his involvement in Procura de México, a chemicals company that supplies products to the Mexican oil company. It is estimated that this business yields him annual net earnings between 300,000 and 500,000 dollars. Although this figure is lower than what he earned at LA Galaxy, it remains a considerable amount, especially considering his other occupations, such as selling luxury cars in the United States.
