Yeah, Dos Santos is a weird one. He was an upcoming star but he just couldnt hack it in the bigs but he almost always stars for Mexico.
And while I agree that foregoing MLS for Ukraine, or rather foregoing anything for Ukraine, is a sad metric in and of itself, there are some benefits.
EU passport and possible CL play which likely comes with bonuses having already been mentioned but also they have an ample supply of borscht, if thats your thing.
Playing in the Ukraine you also have the opportunity to shortly be playing in Russia depending on the outcome of a few minor border skirmishes here and there.
Then theres the taxes! I mean, I'm sure players are obligated to pay taxes of some variety I just dont believe its all that strictly enforced and some clubs pay their players in ex-Soviet arms and ammunition which tends to come in handy depending on the outcomes of the aforementioned minor border skirmishes.
