He is of Bosnian descent.[citation needed]. Starting his youth career in IFK Norrköping, his first senior experience came for Norrköping's cooperation club IF Sylvia in 2019.[1] In the same year, he played two of the three matches in a four-nation tournament for Sweden U17.[2]
After sitting on the bench for Norrköping at the end of 2020, he made his Norrköping debut in the 2020–21 Svenska Cupen in February 2021.[3] Salihovic was officially added to the senior squad in 2021.[4] Further loans to Sylvia followed.[1]
In 2023, he was loaned out to GAIS and helped them win promotion from the 2023 Superettan to Allsvenskan. In 2024 he was finally a regular player for Norrköping, but stated that he "had not heard much" regarding a renewal of his contract which expired at the end of 2024.[5][6] In late December, he still had not heard anything, and the manager was also fired.[7]
It was regarded as a surprise when he signed for Valencia on a free transfer, but it turned out to be Valencia's B team in the Segunda Federación. It was a short-term contract with the club having the option to prolong if desirable.[8][9] With Salihovic having played 5 matches, the Spanish club did not exercise the option, thus Salihovic returned to Sweden, signing for struggling Superettan team Örebro SK.[10] His goal was to take the team out of the second tier.[11]
