About Diogo Santos
Born 1984. Diogo Santos is a Portuguese association football player.
Personal life
In June 2022, Portugal's Supreme Court of Justice allowed Santos to proceed in a lawsuit against American video game company Electronic Arts for the alleged unauthorised use of his name and image in their FIFA series. Citing Lionel Messi's US$50 million deal with the company, he requested at least €53,900. Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport wrote that he was the first footballer to take EA to court, although Zlatan Ibrahimović and Gareth Bale's case against the company had been dismissed; the newspaper also stated that the use of all footballers' images was legitimate due to a deal with the FIFPro trade union.
