Youth

Born in Yverdon-les-Bains, Salvi started his early and youth football with local club Yverdon-Sport. In the summer of 2009, he transferred to Basel and played in their U-16 team, where, at the end of the 2009–10 season, he won the Swiss Championship at U-16 level. In the final between the two group winners, they beat the Sion U-16 team 4–2, after being two goals down early in the game. The following season Salvi advanced to and played in the Basel U-18 team and for the 2011–12 season he advanced to their U-21 team, who played in the 1. Liga Promotion, the third tier of the Swiss football league system. During this season he also played for the Basel U-19 team in the newly founded NextGen Series. Here in the NextGen group 4 they faced Tottenham Hotspur, PSV Eindhoven and Internazionale. However, Basel were eliminated after the group stage. Basel announced, on 31 May 2012, that Salvi had signed a three-year professional contract and would join their first team squad for trainings, but would stand between the posts with the U-21 team, thus gaining playing experience but profiting from professional care in the trainings.
