Club career
In 2018, Club América intended to sign Saldivar with the goal of integrating her as part of their soon-to-be-created U-15 and U-17 teams, which were planning to participate in the upcoming youth division of Liga MX Femenil. However, due to a major delay in the creation of this youth division, the club decided to not sign Saldivar.[2]
In 2020, Saldivar received an invitation from then Club América manager, Leonardo Cuéllar, to a training tryout with América's first-team after successfully completing a previous tryout at a scouting event. Saldivar impressed Cuellar enough during the tryout that América decided to signed her.[3]
Club América (2021–present)
Saldivar joined América in 2021 and was initially integrated with the U-17 team. She was moved up to America's first-team ahead of the Liga MX Femenil's Apertura 2021 tournament on 16 July 2021.[4] Saldivar made her professional debut with América at the age of 14 on 16 August 2021, in a match against Pachuca in which she was part of the starting line-up.[5]
