Jackson Martinez returns to play: he had become a religious singer

Between 2012 and 2015, when he wore the Porto shirt, Jackson Martinez he was one of the most coveted players in Europe. Milan wanted him, he ended up at Atletico Madrid for 40 million euros. Six months, those in Spain, very disappointing and the transfer – in January 2016 – to China, to Guangzhou Evergrande, who paid out 42 million euros and offered him a salary of 12.5 million a year. But even in the East, where he remained until 2018, his star did not shine. The former Colombian striker had retired from football to pursue a completely different career, that of singer of religious music. An approach, the one to faith, which saved him from a life that was proving to be too full of vices. Yet today, at 36, he is ready to get back on the pitch.
