The last time we saw Giovani dos Santos playing the sport of soccer professionally was over a year ago now. April 10, 2021 to be exact, during Round 14 of the Clausura 2021 season, where America visited Tigres and came away with 1-3 road victory. The older of the dos Santos brothers didn’t see much action that night, as he came on for Álvaro Fidalgo in the 75th minute of the match. Not everyone expected that to be the final we saw him step on a pitch.
At the conclusion of the Clausura 2021, the under-17 World Cup champ became a free agent, but failed to sign for any club in Mexico or elsewhere.
