Eduardo Antonio "Toto" Salvio (born 13 July 1990) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Portuguese club Benfica.
An Argentine international with 5 caps, he won two UEFA Europa League with Spanish club Atlético Madrid, and has won three Primeira Liga titles, one Taça de Portugal, four Taça da Liga and one Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira with Benfica.
Salvio was born in Avellaneda, a port city in the province of Buenos Aires. At only 17, he was promoted to the first team of Club Atlético Lanús for the 2007 Apertura, but did not appear in any games in the tournament as the Granate finished in top position.
Salvio made his debut for Lanús' first team on 24 August 2008, in a game against Boca Juniors. He scored his first goal(s) for the club in a 4–2 win against Argentinos Juniors, exactly two months later. Overall, he netted nine goals in the season as the team finished fourth overall, and was also its joint-leading goal scorer, along with José Sand.
On 19 August 2009 Salvio scored twice in the first leg of Lanús' first stage Copa Sudamericana match, netting two late goals to help his team come from behind to defeat River Plate (2–1 away win, 3–1 on aggregate). In early January of the following year, after months of speculation, he signed for Atlético Madrid in Spain, for a reported transfer fee of €10 million.
