Salifo Caropitche Mendes (born 19 June 2001), sometimes known as just Salifo, is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club CD Tenerife B.

Early life

Born in the small village of Bafatá, Salifo moved abroad as a baby with his family, staying in Dakar for a week before boarding a plane towards the Canary Islands. They went on to live in Arrecife.

Club career

After beginning his career at CD Estefut, Salifo played for UD Lanzarote and Altavista CF before finishing his training with CD Orientación Marítima. In 2020, he moved to the Interinsular Preferente de Las Palmas side CD Tahíche, and scored on a regular basis during the season.

On 23 July 2021, Salifo joined the Segunda División RFEF side CD Mensajero. Roughly one year later, he signed a two-year contract with CD Mirandés, being initially assigned to the reserves in the Tercera Federación.

Salifo made his professional debut with the "Jabatos" on 13 August 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Raúl García in a 1–1 Segunda División home draw against Sporting de Gijón. On 8 July of the following year, he moved to another reserve team, CD Tenerife B also in the fifth division.
