The Chicago Fire signed Mihailovic as a homegrown player on January 27, 2017. The 18-year-old became the ninth Homegrown signing in Fire history and the first player born after the club's founding in 1997.[5] He made his MLS debut on March 11, 2017 in a 2–0 home victory over Real Salt Lake. He was subbed on for Michael de Leeuw in the 93rd minute.[6] He scored his first MLS goal on September 27, 2017 in a 4–1 away victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. His goal, assisted by Matt Polster, came in the 14th minute and was the first of the match.[7] During the Knockout Round clash with the New York Red Bulls, Mihailovic was diagnosed with a ruptured ACL after a tackle that left him in serious pain. Mihailovic would miss 6–8 months before returning to the field.[8]

On December 17, 2020, Mihailovic was traded to CF Montréal in exchange for $400,000 in 2021 General Allocation Money, $400,000 in 2022 General Allocation Money, as well as $200,000 in conditional General Allocation Money. Mihailovic also signed a new three-year deal with Montreal.[9]
