Club career[]
Churlinov was born and raised in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia , where he also started playing football with local FK Forca.

Then he moved to Germany and joined the youth setup of Hansa Rostock, where his friend and fellow Macedonian footballer Dimitar Mitrovski was already playing in the youth teams. Mitrovski had asked the club officials to sign Churlinov as he would like to have a fellow Macedonian as teammate.[1]

On 18 August 2021, he joined Schalke 04 on a loan deal until the end of the season.[3]
