After playing youth football for hometown club TSV Gnarrenburg, he signed for Werder Bremen's academy in summer 2013.[4] In March 2021, it was announced that Topp would join Schalke 04's under-19 team from summer 2021.[5] After six goals in 13 games for the under-19s, he was called up to Schalke's first team for the fixture against FC St. Pauli on 4 December 2021 due to injuries to Simon Terodde and Marius Bülter.[6][7] He made his debut as a late substitute as Schalke lost 2–1.[8] He made his Bundesliga debut for Schalke in a 2–0 defeat against 1899 Hoffenheim on 9 April 2023.[9]

In June 2024, Werder Bremen announced Topp would return to the club for the 2024–25 Bundesliga season.[10] The undisclosed transfer fee was reported as around €2 million plus bonuses.[11]

Topp made two appearances for the Germany under-16 team in September 2019.[2] He scored four goals in his first two appearances for the Germany under-19 team in the European Championship qualification in September 2022.[12]
