Diogo Ferreira Salomão (born 14 September 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña on loan from Sporting Clube de Portugal, as a left winger.

Club career

Born in Amadora, Lisbon District, Salomão played for four teams as a youth, including two spells at local C.F. Estrela da Amadora. In 2007 he made his senior debuts, helping another club from the region, Casa Pia AC, promote from the regional leagues to the fourth division in his first season.

In the 2009–10 campaign Salomão started in all but one of the league games he appeared in for Real Sport Clube, helping the side to the 12th position in the third level. He subsequently moved straight into the top flight as he signed a four-year contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Salomão made his debut in the top flight on 26 September 2010, playing 45 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against C.D. Nacional.[1] He finished his first season with the Lions with 23 official appearances – four goals, including two in the UEFA Europa League group stage, against PFC Levski Sofia (5–0 home win)[2] and K.A.A. Gent (5–1, also at home)[3]– and, although not a regular starter for the club, showed glimpses of his talent, being compared by many to Portuguese international Nani.[4]

On 28 June 2011, deemed surplus to requirements by new Sporting boss Domingos Paciência as several Portuguese players, Salomão was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain, in a season-long move.[5] He contributed with four goals in his 16 starts (1,475 minutes of action in total) as the Galicians returned to La Liga after only one year.

Salomão was again loaned to Depor in 2012–13, being joined in the team by Sporting teammate André Santos. He made his debut in the top division on 20 October 2012, playing 11 minutes in a 4–5 home loss against FC Barcelona.[6]
