Mirko Salvi (* 14 February 1994 in Yverdon-les-Bains) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as Goalkeeper. He is currently under contract with FC Basel, but is on loan to Biel in the Swiss Challenge League.

Salvi started his youth football with Yverdon-Sport. In 2009 he transferred to Basel and played in their U-16 team where he won the Swiss Championship at U-16 level.[1] He also played in the Basel U-18 team and one year in their U-21 team before he signed a three year professional contract in May 2012 and joined their first team squad.[2]

At the end of the Swiss Super League seaon 2012–13 he won the Championship title[3] and was Swiss Cup runner up with Basel.[4] In the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League Basel advanced as far as the semi-finals, there being matched against the reigning UEFA Champions League holders Chelsea, but they were knocked out, losing both home and away ties, beaten 2-5 on aggregate.[5] At the end of the Swiss Super League seaon 2013–14 he again won the Championship title and was Swiss Cup silver medal winner for the second time. During this period, as third Basel goalkeeper, he played regularly in their U-21 team and in some test games but never a league match.

On 19 May Basel announced that they were loaning out Salvi to Biel in the Swiss Challenge League, so that he could gain first-team experience in an environment somewhat more competitive than with the Reserves in the 1. Liga Promotion.[6] He became their starting goalie and played his Challenge League debut in the Stade de Genève on 20 July 2014 in the 1-2 away defeat against Servette.
