Carlos Salcedo is leaving Fiorentina for Eintracht Frankfurt. The Mexican is joining the German club on loan that includes an option to buy, the club announced Tuesday.
Salcedo is a fixture for Juan Carlos Osorio’s Mexico team, starting in the team’s World Cup qualifiers last week. Now he’s on his way to the Confederations Cup with El Tri, as he continues to impress at both centerback and, in a pinch, fullback despite being just 23 years old.
The move to Germany continues a rapid rise for the Mexican, who made his professional debut with Real Salt Lake in MLS just four years ago.
