Savoldi made his debut in Series A in 1965 with Atalanta. From 1968 to 1975 he played in the red and blue of Bologna, making 201 appearances, scoring 85 goals. In 1975 he was signed by S.S.C. Napoli for the then world record figure of two billion Lira (£1.2 million).

He closed his career playing again with Bologna and finally for one season (1982/83) with the club he started his career with; Atalanta.
