Regarded as one of, if not, the best foreign player to ever graced the Thai League<\/a>, Diogo Luis Santo still continuously linked with a return to Thailand with big spenders Port FC and BG Pathum United rumoured to be leading the chase for the Brazilian’s signature.<\/h3>\n

The former Olympiacos striker left Buriram United for the Southern Tigers<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>at the beginning of the 2019 season as the Malaysia Super League<\/a> record signing. However, Diogo was rumoured with a surprise switch to Port FC in the mid-season transfer window that same year. Recently, Port FC has adopted a galacticos-like approach to recruitment thus Diogo’s name kept on reappearing.<\/p>\n

Luckily for Johor Darul Ta’zim’s supporter, it looks like Port FC will NOT be asking for Diogo any time soon, according to chairwomen Nualphan Lamsam. Speaking to Thairath Sport<\/em>, the former Thailand women’s national football team general manager quickly dismissed the speculation.<\/p>\n

“Diogo is one footballer I’ve known for well since his visit to PAT Stadium. He is a quality player but I’m afraid we have to wait for now because he still has a contract with [JDT]. Plus, many clubs are interested in him.”<\/p>\n

The Port Lions<\/em><\/a>‘s chairwoman joking ends the topic with a not-so-fond memory of Diogo “I clearly remember when he wipes the floor with us on the final day of the season and got us relegated”<\/p>\n

The game Madame Pang\u00a0<\/em>referred to is the 5-1 defeat in 2015 – Diogo scoring a brilliant second goal for The Thunder Castle<\/em> as he was crowned the Thai League’s golden boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
