Patricio Salas Quintal (born 17 February 2004) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga MX club Club América.

Club career[edit]

Born in Mérida in the Mexican state of Yucatán, Salas began his career playing football at the Colegio Montejo and Centro Universitario Montejo, before spending two years in the academy of professional side Venados.[2][3] He moved to England in 2017, spending six months with Premier League side Chelsea, before enrolling at the Buckswood Football Academy in Hastings.[3][4][5] He returned to Mexico in July 2018, joining the academy of Pachuca.[2] However, he spent the 2019–20 season back with the Buckswood Football Academy, making thirty-seven appearances for the school team.[4]

He returned to Mexico again in 2020, rejoining Pachuca, before joining Club América in mid-2022.[6] Initially injured on his arrival to the club, he only started four of the eight games he played, without scoring, but impressed coaches nonetheless.[7] The following year, after two goals in eleven games for the youth team, he was integrated into the first-team squad, and made his debut on 16 July, coming on as a late substitute for Julián Quiñones in a 3–0 win against Puebla.[7]

International career[edit]

Salas participated in a micro-cycle with the Mexico national under-17 football team in late 2020.[3]
