Club career
In 2020, Filipović was signed by Wegberg-Beeck.[6] At the beginning of 2020, he suffered a meniscus tear, missing the remaining 15 games of the season until the middle of the year.[7] On 25 October 2020, he made his debut against Homberg, winning 1–0.[8]
Filipović holds three nationalities, making him eligible to represent Germany, Montenegro or Peru internationally.[11] In 2021 he indicated that he wanted to play for the Peru national team, but pointed out that he has never had contact and does not have Peruvian citizenship.[12][13]
