Julio Salinas Fernández (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxuljo saˈlinas ferˈnandeθ]; born 11 September 1962) is a Spanish retired footballer who played during the 1980s and 1990s.
A tall, lanky centre forward with skills, Salinas is best remembered for his spell at Barcelona – having started his career with Athletic Bilbao – while he was also a prolific goalscorer for club and country.
Salinas gained 56 caps for Spain, and represented the nation in three World Cups and two European Championships.
Salinas was born in Bilbao, Biscay. In 1983–84 he won the second division's Pichichi Trophy award, as he helped Bilbao Athletic finish runners-up to Castilla CF. During two seasons he also played 13 games for the main side, scoring his first La Liga goal on 26 March 1983 in a 4–0 home win over Celta de Vigo, as the Basque captured back-to-back league titles and added the 1984 Copa del Rey.
After two more seasons with Bilbao, netting 12 goals combined for two-third-place finishes, Salinas moved to Atlético Madrid, where he scored an impressive 31 from 1988 to 1990 (including two on 7 February 1988, in a 7–0 home thrashing of RCD Mallorca).
