Dikeni-Rafid Salifou

Dikeni-Rafid Salifou is a midfielder born in Munich on 8 June 2003 who represents Togo. He developed with FC Puchheim and SC Fürstenfeldbruck before joining FC Augsburg’s youth system in 2015. Salifou later moved to Werder Bremen, signing a professional contract in 2022 and making his Bundesliga debut as a substitute against VfB Stuttgart in February 2023. In September that year, he joined Juventus Next Gen on loan, where he played in Serie C and scored twice across more than 30 appearances. A subsequent loan at Austria Klagenfurt during 2024–25 gave him top-flight experience before he moved to KV Mechelen in 2025. At 188 centimetres, Salifou has operated as a central or defensive midfielder, with his positional versatility also allowing him to cover at centre-back. He made his Togo debut in March 2024, adding football to a career built through German development and loans abroad.
