Mirko Salvi (born 14 February 1994) is a Swiss-Italian professional footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Swiss Super League club Basel.
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.
On 19 May 2014, Basel announced that they were loaning out Salvi to Biel-Bienne 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.
[8] He became their starting goalie and played his Challenge League debut in the Stade de Genève on 20 July 2014 in a 1–2 away defeat against Servette.
[10] Basel's second goalkeeper Germano Vailati was therefore used in the closing match of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stage, against Lech Poznań on 10 December 2015.
Salvi didn't even have time to warm up and made his debut a few minutes later and helped the team to secure the 1–0 away victory.
[11][12] After the winter break, on 7 January 2016, Basel announced that Salvi is loaned out to FC Lugano for the second half of the 2015–16 Super League season, where he established himself as the starting goalkeeper after a few games.
[14] During their 2017–18 season, Salvi was again back up keeper behind Tomáš Vaclík and played only in four Swiss Cup matches, but no league games.
Salvi played two years with GC and they ended the 2020–21 Challenge League season as division champions and won promotion.
On 10 June 2022, Salvi returned to Basel, on a two-year contract, as back up for number 1 keeper Marwin Hitz.
