SC Freiburg
In 2012, Philipp signed with SC Freiburg. On 5 April 2014, he made his first-team debut at SC Freiburg, in a Bundesliga match against VfB Stuttgart replacing Felix Klaus in the 90th minute.[3]
Borussia Dortmund
On 7 June 2017, Philipp signed a five-year contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2022.[4] The transfer fee paid to Freiburg was reported as €20 million plus bonuses.[5] BVB's sporting director Michael Zorc described Philipp as "versatile" and "has a good shot and he has a fantastic future ahead of him."[6] Philipp made his debut for BVB on 6 August 2017 in the team's 2–2 draw (6–7 on penalty) against Bayern Munich in DFL Super Cup, substituting for Christian Pulisic at 90' and netting BVB's second penalty.[7] He started for Dortmund for the first time on 19 August 2017 in BVB's 3–0 away victory in Wolfsburg.[8] On 18 September 2017, Philipp scored his first goal for BVB in the team's 5–0 home victory against 1. FC Köln.[9] He went on to net his second goal in the same game.[10] He made his UEFA Champions League debut on 26 September 2017 as Dortmund suffered home defeat against Real Madrid.[11]
Dynamo Moscow
On 9 August 2019, Philipp signed a four-year contract with the Russian club Dynamo Moscow.[12] He scored his first goal for Dynamo three minutes into his debut game against Lokomotiv Moscow on 18 August 2019, from a direct free-kick.[13] In his second game against FC Tambov on 24 August, he scored again as Dynamo won 2–0 away.[14] On 23 November 2019, he scored twice from the penalty spot to secure a 2–1 victory over FC Rostov.[15] In the next game on 1 December 2019 he scored twice again in a 2–1 defeat of Lokomotiv Moscow.[16] He was voted player of the month for December 2019 by Dynamo fans.[17]
VfL Wolfsburg
On 2 October 2020, he returned to Bundesliga, joining VfL Wolfsburg on a season-long loan.[18] In the spring of 2021, the club announced that it intends to keep Philipp in its lineup, "if the opportunity arises." However, the repayment period for a fixed amount of 11 million euros has already expired and the Germans had to negotiate with Dynamo on a new one.[19]
On 16 June 2021, Wolfsburg agreed on a permanent transfer with Dynamo and Philipp signed a four-year contract with the club.[20]
Werder Bremen
Philipp joined league rivals Werder Bremen on loan in January 2023.[21] He signed as a replacement for Oliver Burke, who went on loan to Millwall.[21] In 11 February 2023, Philipp made his debut against his former club Borussia Dortmund as a substitute for Christian Groß.
Return to SC Freiburg
On 21 August 2023, Philipp returned to SC Freiburg on loan.[22]
