“Welcome to Cougars, ‘Toto Salvio! With a great track record and experience, he joins our blue and gold team ”, It was the special message of welcome from Pumas to the Argentine attacker, who was in the “Xeneize” from July 2019 until the end of June of this year.

Salvio, in addition to Boca Juniors, has also been part of Lanús, Benfica and Atlético de Madrid. Likewise, in his professional career, the attacker has integrated the Argentine national team: he was a World Cup player in Russia 2018 and participated in the qualifying process for Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022.
