During the summer of 2024, he was sent on loan to Swedish side Skövde AIK, where he made eight league appearances and scored zero goals.[2] Following his stint there, he signed for Scottish side Aberdeen in 2025.[3] On 14 December 2025 he scored his first goal for the club vs Kilmarnock.

Born in Sweden, Bilalović is of Bosnian descent.[4] He is a Sweden youth international. On 15 June 2023, he debuted for the Sweden national under-18 football team during a 1–0 friendly away win over the Wales national under-18 football team.
Style of play
Bilalović plays as a winger and is left-footed. Scottish newspaper The Press and Journal wrote in 2025 that he "although his previous five starts for Varnamo came on the right flank... Bilalovic... is recognised more as a left-winger... [his] left foot is his stronger one, so would be better suited to hitting the byeline and getting crosses in from the left side".[5]
