Club career
editBrescia Calcio
editSalgado joined Brescia Calcio from Huachipato in July 2001. He became the teammate of Roberto Baggio, an Italian historic footballer. His Serie A debut came on 16 September against Lecce, in a 1–1 draw.
With Brescia, Salgado scored 1 goal in 18 appearances. He later was loaned to Serie B side Hellas Verona in 2003, remaining one season there.

However, he had a bad spell at Salzburg and was loaned to Ternana, where he was teammate of his countrymen Luis Jimenez, and shortly after was loaned to AlbinoLeffe in 2006.
