[edit] Club career

[edit] Guadalajara

Salcido started his career with Chivas making his official debut in the Primera División de México on 22 July 2001 in a 1–1 draw against La Piedad in 2001. Salcido disappeared from Chivas' first squad until 2003, when he regained trust as a good defender. He would go on to play five half-seasons registering two goals in 105 matches.[2] Salcido was a 2005 and 2006 Copa Libertadores Semifinalist with Guadalajara and a Runner-Up in the Mexican league losing against UNAM Pumas in 2004.

[edit] PSV

In June and July following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, press speculation linked Salcido to several clubs in Europe, with one report claiming that he had agreed to sign for FA Premier League club Arsenal F.C.[3] However, these speculations proved false as he signed a four-year contract with Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven on 10 July 2006.

Salcido was a first team regular in the Eredivisie under Coach Ronald Koeman. Starting 33 of 34 league games in his first season at the club, which saw PSV crowned Dutch champions. On 18 November 2006, he scored his first goal in Europe, a spectacular long distance goal in a match against Excelsior Rotterdam that ended 4–0. Salcido also appeared in the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League. In total Salcido played 48 Eredivisie and Champions League games that season, finishing 46 of them. For the 2007-08 season, Salcido was awarded the number 3 shirt, previously worn by Michael Reiziger. He was also named the team Vice-Captain [4] after Timmy Simons was promoted to team Captain following the departure of former captain Phillip Cocu. In his second season at PSV Salcido played 33 games in the Dutch League, and 6 games in the Champions League, Salcido was crowned champion for the second straight year with PSV. In his third season with the club he played 28 games in the Dutch League scoring two goals. In 2009–10 Salcido played 27 Eredivisie matches and 9 UEFA Europa League matches. Salcido was a substitute for the beginning of the 2010–11 Eredivisie and the Europa League, where he did not appear in any matches but was soon transferred to Fulham of England.

[edit] Fulham

After a good performance with Mexico at the 2010 FIFA world cup, it was reported that Liverpool wanted to sign Salcido.[5]

On 26 August 2010 it was announced that Fulham had agreed a £1.6 million deal with PSV to sign the player but the deal was still subject to the player agreeing terms. The deal was then finalised the next day.[6] He made his debut against Blackburn Rovers on September 18, 2010. He gave an assist in the 56th minute, when his cross pass fell to American player Clint Dempsey who headed it into the net from 8 yards to level the game at 1-1. He played all 90 minutes.[7]

[edit] UANL (loan)

On 17 August 2011 it was announced that Salcido was transferred to Mexican side UANL on a season long loan. Due to a robbery at his home in London, Salcido requested to be transferred back to Mexico due to his family feeling unsettled.[8]
