Club Career

Lanus

Salvio was born in Avellaneda, a port city in the province of Buenos Aires. At only 17, he was promoted to the first team of Club Atletico Lanus for the 2007 Apertura, but did not appear in any games in the tournament as the Granate finished in top position.

Salvio made his debut for Lanus' first team on 24 August 2008, in a game against Boca Juniors. He scored his first goal(s) for the club in a 4–2 win against Argentinos Juniors, exactly two months later. Overall, he netted nine goals in the season as the team finished fourth overall, and was also its joint-leading goal scorer, along with Jose Sand.

On 19 August 2009 Salvio scored twice in the first leg of Lanus' first stage Copa Sudamericana match, netting two late goals to help his team come from behind to defeat River Plate (2–1 away win, 3–1 on aggregate). In early January 2010, after months of speculation, he signed for Atletico Madrid in Spain, for a reported transfer fee of €10 million.

Atletico Madrid

Salvio made his official debut for Atletico in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League against Galatasaray on 18 February 2010, and scored his first goals for the Colchoneros in a 3–1 La Liga home win over Tenerife on 25 April. On 12 May he appeared as a substitute in the Europa League final against Fulham, coming on as a substitute for Jose Antonio Reyes in the 76th minute of the 2–1 triumph.
