Early career

Born in Rouen, France, Crivelli progressed through the academy of Cannes, before joining Girondins Bordeaux in 2012. In his debut season for the club, he helped the U19 team to victory in the 2013 Coupe Gambardella. He then made his Ligue 1 debut on 26 January 2014 against Saint-Étienne, replacing Abdou Traoré after 83 minutes in a 2–0 home win. His second appearance came two months later, in a home game against OGC Nice. Crivelli signed his first professional contract with Bordeaux in May 2015. Just days after signing the contract, he scored his first league goal for Les Girondins in a 1–1 draw with Lyon.

2015–16 season

Crivelli scored his first Europa League goal for Bordeaux on 27 August 2015, in a 2–1 defeat to Kairat. It was a vital strike, as it gave Bordeaux an away goal, which helped them progress to the group stages of the competition. He followed his Europa League heroics by scoring his first goal of the 2015–16 Ligue 1 campaign in a 1–1 draw with Toulouse on 20 September. Three days later, in a clash against Nice, he set up Jaroslav Plašil for the opening goal, before being sent off in the 50th minute. Bordeaux went on to lose the match 6–1. In November, Crivelli added two more goals to his tally, scoring in a 2–2 draw with Rennes, before netting a late consolation goal in a 4–1 defeat to Caen. The strike against Caen was Crivelli's final goal for the season, as he failed to find the back of the net in the second half of the campaign, ultimately ending with a return of 3 goals in 29 league appearances.

2016–17 season: Loan to Bastia

On 3 August 2016, Bordeaux simultaneously announced that Crivelli had signed a one-year extension on his contract with the club and that he would be spending the upcoming season on loan at fellow Ligue 1 side Bastia. He made his debut for the club on 12 August 2016, in a 1–0 loss to reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG. Crivelli scored his first goals for the club the following week, netting a brace in a 3–0 win over Lorient. He also missed from the penalty spot during the match. On 24 September, Crivelli scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Guingamp. Three minutes later, he was sent off for a second bookable offence and received a four-match ban from the LFP Disciplinary Committee, as a result. He ended the season with 10 goals in 24 appearances, though his return was not enough to prevent Bastia from being relegated to Ligue 2.

Angers

On 27 June 2017, Crivelli signed a four-year deal with fellow Ligue 1 side Angers. He scored on his debut for the club on 12 August, netting in a 2–0 Ligue 1 win over Amiens.

2017–18 season: Loan to Caen

On 31 January 2018, Crivelli was loaned to Stade Malherbe Caen until the end of the season with an option to buy if Caen avoids relegation.
