Mexico has insisted on giving the nickname of Mexican Messi to more than one soccer player, one of them even shared a dressing room with the Argentine star and although he had everything to succeed in international soccer, his career never took off as the fans expected and he had to settle for a few glimpses of his career.

Giovani dos Santos was the player that Mexico trusted to take El Tri to another level, but unfortunately he failed to consolidate himself in any of the teams he played for, including Barcelona, Tottenham, Villarreal, Mallorca, Galatasaray, LA Galaxy and club America.

Two years ago Giovani dos Santos left club America through the back door, after not being able to shine with the Aguilas as he would have expected in 4 tournaments played, dressed in the team. However, unexpectedly, the 3-time World Cup player could return to mexican team.

Taking advantage of the good relationship he has with the owner of club América, Emilio Azcárraga, and the team's sports president, Santiago Baños, Giovani dos Santos could reach an agreement with the Aguilas so that in the following weeks they will let him train in Coapa, as It has already happened on previous occasions, with the intention that the Mexican can convince the team or some other team to sign him.

Giovani dos Santos has been away from the courts for almost 24 months after failing to find a team in past transfer periods. The former Barcelona soccer player would still have the intention of continuing his professional career and being able to train in Coapa he would try to convince América or some other Liga MX team to sign him.

The Mexican soccer player has played for teams such as Barcelona, Tottenham, Galatasaray, Villarreal, Mallorca, LA Galaxy and América, among others. Clubs in which, in 376 games played, he has registered 78 goals and 61 assists.
