Salcedo was considered one of the young and upcoming players for RSL and was a hopeful to replace a depleted backfield that went through a number of changes during the 2014/2015 off season. Salcedo played several times with Mexico’s U-23 National Team, which is currently undergoing preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
During the off season Carlos was vocal on wanting to be released from his final year with RSL and went to his instagram and twitter feeds to vent his frustration. His father was also focal on the use of his son during the prior season with some interesting tweets of his own during the MLS playoffs.
