Standing at an imposing height of 5ft 11in (1.82 metres) and maintaining a sturdy weight of approximately 11st 11lb (75 kilograms), Salazar proves a formidable opponent on the pitch. His capabilities to guard his territory successfully and efficiently has earned him the number 80 jersey in Hearts' first team.
Crunching some numbers, we find that this robust defender's current market value hovers around the £638k mark, as denoted by Transfermarkt, a reliable source for such figures. Salazar's contractual obligations with Hearts continue till 30 June 2025, leaving him with 4 months left to contribute to his Scottish club.
Now for a brief history lesson. In January of 2021, before making the hop across the Atlantic, Salazar forged his professional beginnings with Atlético Nacional, holding his own in the renowned Primera A league of Colombia. Finding his feet and undoubtedly leaving a mark in his home country, Salazar then embarked on a fresh challenge. In August of 2024, he bid farewell to Atlético Nacional and journeyed to colder climes, namely those of Scotland's Premiership. Here, he loaned his defensive talents to Hearts where he continues his hard-won footballing career.
