In the summer of 2014, Mahmutovic signed his first professional senior contract with CS Fola Esch.[5][6]

On 1 July 2019, Mahmutovic joined MVV Maastricht of the Dutch Eerste Divisie, going on to appear 16 times for the club across the season.[12]
Middlesbrough announced that Mahmutovic had been released by the club on 28 June 2020.[13]
