Between 2012 and 2015, Jackson Martínez broke it in Porto, scoring 94 goals (and 13 assists) in 143 games and being the league’s top scorer in three consecutive editions.
Those tremendous numbers led him to Atlético Madrid, but from then on his career fell apart.
Between injuries and missed opportunities, Jackson went to China, where he played only 16 games during two years, and returned to Portugal.
He finally retired from football in December 2020 and today he is a Christian hip-hop artist and DJ in Colombia.

Dembele’s demands to extend Barca contract revealed as Xavi left ‘speechless’
According to Florian Plettenberg, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez was left ‘speechless’ after French winger Ousmane Dembele revealed his contract demands.
Dembele joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund back in 2017 in a £96 million deal. However, he has been plagued with injury issues since then. In five seasons thus far, Dembele has managed just 127 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions and has 31 goals and 23 assists.
New manager Xavi reportedly wants the winger to play an integral role in his squad. However, Barcelona’s hierarchy have in recent months been left frustrated by negotiations over a new contract.
Dembele’s current contract runs out in the summer and the winger has finally revealed his demands to sign a new one. Dembele reportedly wants €43 million before taxes per year along with €7 million in add-ons.
