Domestically he has also played in another Kategoria Superiore side FK Byllis Ballsh. In the 2019–20 Kategoria Superiore, he emerged as the top scorer with 11 goals and 3 assists for FK Byllis Ballsh.[4] It was Guindo's best performance so far.

In 2020, he went to Turkey and signed a three-year contract with TFF First League outfit Ankara Keçiörengücü but has not appeared in league games.[5]

On 21 November 2020, it was announced that I-League outfit Gokulam Kerala have completed the signing of Saliou Guindo.[6] "Saliou Guindo has signed for Gokulam Kerala on a season-long deal", a source close to the developments informed Khel Now.

International career

Guindo was eyeing to win the tournament for making Mali proud around the world. In his words, "It's our dream to win this competition." Guindo added : "Our country would be known around the world. Many countries don't know about us and many people sometimes ask us, 'what's Mali?'"[11]

He has also represented his nation in 2015 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, where they finished 4th. Guindo was the man behind his country's qualification in the tournament.[12]
