Diogo Ferreira Salomão (born 14 September 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Mallorca as a left winger.
Born in Amadora, Lisbon District, Salomão played for three teams as a youth, including two spells at local C.F. Estrela da Amadora. In 2007 he made his senior debuts, helping another club from the region, Casa Pia AC, promote from the regional leagues to the fourth division in his first season.
In the 2009–10 campaign, Salomão started in all but one of the league games he appeared in for Real Sport Clube, helping the side to the 12th position in the third level. He subsequently moved straight into the Primeira Liga, as he signed a four-year contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal.
Salomão made his debut in the top flight on 26 September 2010, playing 45 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against C.D. Nacional. He finished his first season with the Lions with 23 official appearances – four goals, including two in the UEFA Europa League group stage, against PFC Levski Sofia (5–0 home win) and K.A.A. Gent (5–1, also at home)– and, although not a regular starter for the club, showed glimpses of his talent, being compared by many to Portuguese international Nani.
