'''Julio Salinas Fernández''' ({{IPA|es|ˈxuljo saˈlinas feɾˈnandeθ}}; born 11 September 1962) is a Spanish former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played during the 1980s and 1990s.

A tall, lanky [[centre-forward]] with skills, he was best remembered for his spell at [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] – having started his career with [[Athletic Bilbao]] – while he was also a prolific goalscorer for club and [[Spain national football team|country]].

Salinas earned 56 [[cap (sport)|caps]] for Spain, and represented the nation in three [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] and two [[UEFA European Championship|European Championships]].

==Club career==
===Athletic and Atlético===
Salinas was born in [[Bilbao]], [[Biscay]], joining [[Athletic Bilbao]]'s youth academy at the age of 11.<ref name=AS>{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2016/07/12/portada/1468353835_963067.html|title=Julio Salinas: el futbolista incomprendido|trans-title=Julio Salinas: the misunderstood footballer|newspaper=[[Diario AS]]|first=Alfonso|last=Herrán|language=es|date=12 July 2016|access-date=19 September 2018}}</ref> In [[1983–84 Segunda División|1983–84]] he won the [[Segunda División|second division]]'s [[Pichichi Trophy]] award, as he helped [[Athletic Bilbao B|the reserves]] to finish runners-up to [[Real Madrid Castilla|Castilla CF]].<ref name=PICHICHI>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1984/05/28/pagina-15/1106378/pdf.html|title=Julio Salinas, "Pichichi" ficticio|trans-title=Julio Salinas, fictional "Pichichi"|newspaper=[[Mundo Deportivo]]|language=es|date=28 May 1984|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref> He also played 13 games for the first team over two seasons, scoring his first [[La Liga]] goal on 26 March 1983 in a 4–0 home win against [[RC Celta de Vigo]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1983/03/27/pagina-10/1084109/pdf.html|title=El Athletic, sin problemas|trans-title=Athletic, no problems|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|language=es|date=27 March 1983|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref> as the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basques]] captured back-to-back league titles and added the 1984 [[Copa del Rey]].

After two more seasons with Athletic, scoring a total of 12 goals for two-third-place finishes, Salinas moved to [[Atlético Madrid]], where he found the net at an impressive rate (this included a brace on 7 February 1988 in a 7–0 home thrashing of [[RCD Mallorca]]).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1988/02/08/pagina-20/1171258/pdf.html|title=El Mallorca "no estuvo" en Madrid|trans-title=Mallorca "were not" in Madrid|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Jesús|last=Alcaide|language=es|date=8 February 1988|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref>

===Barcelona===
Salinas signed for [[FC Barcelona]] for [[1988–89 La Liga|1988–89]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1988/05/21/deportes/580168809_850215.html|title=Los jugadores del Atlético de Madrid Julio Salinas y Eusebio se comprometieron con el Barcelona|trans-title=Atlético de Madrid players Julio Salinas and Eusebio committed to Barcelona|newspaper=[[El País]]|language=es|date=21 May 1988|access-date=10 October 2018}}</ref> linking up with several other Basque players, including veteran [[José Ramón Alexanko]], [[José Mari Bakero]], [[Txiki Begiristain]] and [[Jon Andoni Goikoetxea]] – these would help form the backbone of the legendary ''Dream Team''.<ref name=AS/> He scored 20 league goals in his debut campaign as ''Barça'' finished second to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], and he also netted in both the [[1988–89 European Cup Winners' Cup|1989 Cup Winners' Cup]] final against [[U.C. Sampdoria]]<ref name=AS/> and in the [[1989–90 Copa del Rey|following year's domestic cup 2–0 victory]] over Real Madrid.<ref name=COPA>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/spancup1990.html|title=Spain – Cup 1990|website=[[RSSSF]]|first=Carles|last=Lozano Ferrer|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref>

In the subsequent seasons, Salinas appeared sparingly for the club due to his age and the emergence of attacking players as [[Hristo Stoichkov]], but would still manage to grab some important goals in spite of limited playing time.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PmHcCgAAQBAJ&q=suplente+de+lujo+cruyff+salinas&pg=PT115|title=El gran libro de los récords: 200 historias del fútbol español|trans-title=The great book of records: 200 stories of Spanish football|first=Pedro|last=Martín|language=es|date=2016|isbn=9788494425653|access-date=19 September 2018}}</ref> On 30 January 1994, after coming in as a second-half [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] against [[Albacete Balompié]], he scored both goals in a 2–1 home win, as he only played six games more during [[1993–94 La Liga|the campaign]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1994/01/31/pagina-2/1290446/pdf.html|title=Sale Julio Salinas y lo arregla todo|trans-title=Julio Salinas comes on and takes care of everything|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Andrés|last=Astruells|language=es|date=31 January 1994|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref> with Barcelona eventually achieving four league titles in a row.<ref name=AS/>

===Late career===
Upon leaving [[Catalonia]], Salinas joined [[Deportivo de La Coruña]], helping to a runner-up finish in his [[1994–95 La Liga|only season]]; although not a regular in the starting lineups he finished with 12 league goals, only surpassed by club great [[Bebeto]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://cronicavasca.elespanol.com/recomendado/maximos-goleadores-vascos-historia-liga-bc-nprs_709130_102.html|title=Los máximos goleadores vascos en la historia de La Liga|trans-title=Top Basque scorers in La Liga history|newspaper=[[El Español]]|language=es|date=19 August 2022|access-date=5 April 2023}}</ref> As a late replacement at the [[Camp Nou]] on 3 December, he netted in a 1–1 draw after a [[Header (association football)|header]] from [[José Luis Ribera]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1994/12/04/pagina-2/1294593/pdf.html|title=Algo se ha parado en el Barça|trans-title=Something has stopped in Barça|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Santi|last=Nolla|language=es|date=4 December 1994|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref>

After the signing of, among others, Russian [[Dmitry Radchenko]], Salinas was deemed surplus to requirements, agreeing to a contract at [[Sporting de Gijón]] where he scored 18 times in the [[1995–96 La Liga|1995–96 campaign]], crucial in helping the [[Asturias|Asturians]] to avoid relegation. He was held in high regards in [[Gijón|the city]] during his one-and-a-half-year spell, with the fans often singing: ''"Bota de oro, Salinas bota de oro!"'' ("Golden boot, Salinas, golden boot!").<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1995/12/15/pagina-11/1320205/pdf.html|title="Ojalá marque el gol de la victoria"|trans-title=Hopefully i will score the winning goal|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|language=es|date=15 December 1995|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1996/04/01/pagina-26/1320535/pdf.html|title='Hat trick' de Julio Salinas|trans-title=Hat trick from Julio Salinas|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=José Luis|last=Calleja|language=es|date=1 April 1996|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1996/04/22/pagina-24/1318208/pdf.html|title=El Sporting le enseña la 'manita' al Betis|trans-title=Sporting show 'open hand' to Betis|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Jesús|last=Gómez|language=es|date=22 April 1996|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref>

Salinas then had a stint abroad with [[Yokohama F. Marinos|Yokohama Marinos]] in Japan, where he again showcased his scoring skills, rejoining his former Barcelona teammate Goikoetxea.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1998/03/21/pagina-29/390396/pdf.html#&mode=fullScreen|title=La J-League habla español|trans-title=The J-League speaks Spanish|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|language=es|date=21 March 1998|access-date=23 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fcbarcelona.jp/club/news/2012-2013/the-people-of-barca-in-the-history-of-japan|script-title=ja:日本サッカー史におけるバルサ|trans-title=Barça in Japanese football history|publisher=FC Barcelona|language=ja|date=1 December 2012|access-date=18 March 2018}}</ref> He then returned close to home, having spent his last two seasons with [[Deportivo Alavés]] where he scored in [[1999–2000 La Liga|1999–2000]]'s opener, a 2–1 home defeat of [[Málaga CF]];<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1999/08/30/deportes/935964051_850215.html|title=Salinas castiga al Málaga|trans-title=Salinas punishes Málaga|newspaper=El País|first=Eduardo|last=Ortiz de Arri|language=es|date=30 August 1999|access-date=19 September 2018}}</ref> his team finished sixth, and would go on to reach [[2000–01 UEFA Cup|the following year]]'s [[2001 UEFA Cup final|UEFA Cup final]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/what-heck-happened-alaves-after-2001|title=What the heck happened to Alaves after 2001?|publisher=[[FourFourTwo]]|first=Robert|last=O'Connor|date=18 May 2016|access-date=5 April 2023}}</ref>

On 19 May 2000, Salinas played his last professional match, scoring in a 2–1 loss at his first team Athletic Bilbao.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/2000/05/20/pagina-2/695136/pdf.html|title=Un final insospechado|trans-title=Unsuspecting ending|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Nika|last=Cuenca|language=es|date=20 May 2000|access-date=21 March 2014}}</ref> He retired at nearly 38 with 417 matches and 152 goals, in the Spanish top flight alone.<ref name=AS/>

==International career==
Salinas represented the [[Spain national football team|Spain national team]] over a decade, scoring 22 goals.<ref name=MD>{{cite news|url=https://www.mundodeportivo.com/seleccion-espanola/20200415/48544507645/seleccion-entrevista-julio-salinas.html|title=Julio Salinas: "Sufrí mucho por el fallo contra Italia"|trans-title=Julio Salinas: "I suffered a lot because of my miss against Italy"|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Pepe|last=Gil-Vernet|language=es|date=15 April 2020|access-date=5 April 2023}}</ref> His debut was on 22 January 1986 as he netted in a 2–0 [[Exhibition game#International football|friendly]] win over [[Soviet Union national football team|the Soviet Union]], in [[Las Palmas]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/1986/01/18/deportes/506386803_850215.html|title=Muñoz selecciona a Chendo y a Julio Salinas contra la URSS|trans-title=Muñoz selects Chendo and Julio Salinas against USSR|newspaper=El País|language=es|date=18 January 1986|access-date=18 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1986/01/23/065.html|title=2–0: España venció a la URSS en un partido jugado a gran velocidad por ambos equipos|trans-title=2–0: Spain defeated USSR in match where both teams displayed great speed|newspaper=[[ABC (newspaper)|ABC]]|first=Héctor|last=Del Mar|language=es|date=23 January 1986|access-date=18 December 2015}}</ref>

Salinas went on to represent the country at three [[FIFA World Cup]]s: [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]] (where he scored against [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]]),<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/mundial/2016-05-21/espana-mundial-86-butragueno-mexico_1203991/|title=Del utillero falangista al positivo de Calderé: nuestro Mundial 86 en diez episodios|trans-title=From the ''falangista'' kit man to Calderé's positive: our 86 World Cup in ten episodes|newspaper=[[El Confidencial]]|first=Alfredo|last=Pascual|language=es|date=21 May 2016|access-date=28 September 2017}}</ref> [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]] (netting in the second-round loss to [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]]) and [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]], as well as two [[UEFA European Championship]]s, [[UEFA Euro 1988|1988]] and [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996]].<ref name=MD/>

In the 1994 World Cup quarter-final against [[Italy national football team|Italy]], after he had found the net in a 2–2 draw against [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]], Salinas missed the chance to put Spain into the last-four stage. With 1–1 and less than ten minutes to go, he marred a fast-break, with only [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]] [[Gianluca Pagliuca]] to beat; [[Roberto Baggio]] sealed the 2–1 final result minutes later, and the Spaniard was ultimately more remembered for this miss rather than the massive number of goals scored during an 18-year professional career.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.elmundo.es/mundial/2010/2010/07/12/espana/1278926957.html|title=En memoria de los 'nadies' y los 'malditos'|trans-title=Here's to the 'nobodies' and the 'damned'|newspaper=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]]|first=Ángel|last=González|language=es|date=12 July 2010|access-date=13 April 2017}}</ref>

==Post-retirement==
Immediately after retiring, Salinas began working as a [[sports commentator]], first for [[RTVE]] and then on [[laSexta]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.infoperiodistas.info/noticia/3038/La-Sexta-ficha-a-Salinas-Kiko-Chapi-Ferrer-y-Maceda|title=La Sexta ficha a Salinas, Kiko, Chapi Ferrer y Maceda|trans-title=La Sexta signs Salinas, Kiko, Chapi Ferrer and Maceda|publisher=Info Periodistas|language=es|date=29 August 2006|access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Salinas' younger brother, [[Patxi Salinas|Patxi]], was also a professional footballer (centre-back), and played for Athletic Bilbao and Celta. Both made their top division debut in the [[1982–83 La Liga|1982–83 season]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/1995/10/15/deportes/813711607_850215.html|title=La 'vendetta' de los hermanos Salinas|trans-title=The Salinas brothers' 'vendetta'|newspaper=El País|first=Mario|last=Díaz|language=es|date=15 October 1995|access-date=17 September 2013}}</ref>

They held the record for combined appearances in the Spanish top tier by siblings with 849 matches (occasions where they both played as teammates or opponents counted for each), 86 more than the next pair, [[Quini]] and [[Jesús Castro (Spanish footballer)|Jesús Castro]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2017/02/hermanos-de-primera/|title=Hermanos de Primera|trans-title=Top-class brothers|publisher=Cuadernos de Fútbol|first=Vidal|last=Viñarás de Blas|language=es|date=1 February 2017|access-date=29 March 2023|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329145551/https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2017/02/hermanos-de-primera/|archive-date=29 March 2023}}</ref>
