Early life and youth career
Born in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Catalonia, Salvó started playing basketball for local club CB Samà. He later joined the youth ranks of FC Barcelona in 2006. After leaving the FC Barcelona academy in 2010, he returned to CB Samà, playing his first seasons of senior basketball in regional leagues organized by the Catalan Basketball Federation.[1][2]
Professional career
In 2013, Salvó joined Essor Charleroi, the reserve team of Spirou Charleroi in the Belgian second division. While mostly playing for the reserve team, Salvó made his debut for Spirou.[3]
In 2014, Salvó returned to Catalonia and signed for CB Cornellà, then playing in the Liga EBA. In 2015, he joined LEB Plata club CB Tarragona. His good performances with Tarragona attracted the attention of Liga ACB clubs such as Bàsquet Manresa, which offered Salvó the opportunity to train with the team and a contract for the 2017-18 season.[3] In June 2016, he signed for LEB Oro club Oviedo CB for the 2016-17 season.[4] With Oviedo, Salvó won the 2017 Copa Princesa de Asturias and was named the tournament's MVP. He also took part in the 2017 playoffs.[3]
Despite having a previous agreement with Bàsquet Manresa, as the Bages-based team was relegated to the LEB Oro after the 2016-17 ACB season, Salvó was free to sign with other teams. In the summer of 2017, he signed a 4 year contract with recently promoted Liga ACB team Gipuzkoa Basket.[5] Finally making his debut in the top tier of Spanish basketball, he spent two seasons with Guipzkoa in the Liga ACB.
San Pablo Burgos (2019-2021)
Salvó signed with San Pablo Burgos of the Liga ACB in July 2019.[6] With Burgos, Salvó won the Basketball Champions League twice in a row (2020, 2021) and also won the 2021 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.[1]
Gran Canaria (2021-present)
In July 2021, Salvó signed a two year contract with CB Gran Canaria of the Liga ACB.[7] Becoming an important player with Gran Canaria, he extended his contract for two more years in June 2023.[8] Salvó won the 2022–23 EuroCup with the Canarians,[9] reaching the final once again in 2025 but losing to Hapoel Tel Aviv.[10]
National team career
Salvó has represented the Spanish national team internationally, making his debut in a game against Poland in the EuroBasket 2022 qualifiers.[11]
Costa has also represented the Catalan national team.[12]
