Early career

Born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, Andalusia, Salvi finished his graduation with Sevilla FC, making his senior debuts with the C-team on 27 April 2010 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 Tercera División away loss against UD Los Barrios. In the 2010–11 campaign, he appeared in two matches for the reserves in Segunda División B, but resumed his spell at the club with the C's.

In the 2012 summer Salvi joined hometown club Atlético Sanluqueño CF, also in the third level. On 28 June 2014, after the club's relegation, he moved to fellow league team CF Villanovense.[1]

Cádiz

Salvi made his professional debut on 19 August 2016, starting in a 1–1 away draw against UD Almería.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 3 September, netting his team's second in a 3–2 loss at CD Mirandés.[5]

On 5 November 2017, Salvi scored a brace in a 2–0 away defeat of Almería.[6] Salvi became the top assist maker of Cádiz in 2019 with a total of eight assists, two of them in the matches of the 2018–19 season and six in the 2019–20 season.[7]

On 27 September 2020, Salvi scored his debut goal in La Liga in the match against former club Sevilla.[8]
