Salifo Caropitche Mendes (born 19 June 2001), sometimes known as just Salifo, is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club CD Tenerife.
Early life
Born in the small village of Bafatá, Salifo moved abroad as a baby with his family, staying in Dakar for a week before boarding a plane towards the Canary Islands. They went on to live in Arrecife.[1]
Club career
After beginning his career at CD Estefut, Salifo played for UD Lanzarote and Altavista CF before finishing his training with CD Orientación Marítima.[1] In 2020, he moved to the Interinsular Preferente de Las Palmas side CD Tahíche, and scored on a regular basis during the season.
On 23 July 2021, Salifo joined the Segunda División RFEF side CD Mensajero.[2] Roughly one year later, he signed a two-year contract with CD Mirandés, being initially assigned to the reserves in the Tercera Federación.[3]
Salifo made his professional debut with the "Jabatos" on 13 August 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Raúl García in a 1–1 Segunda División home draw against Sporting de Gijón.[4] On 8 July of the following year, he moved to another reserve team, CD Tenerife B also in the fifth division.[5]
