Tupta made his professional debut for Hellas Verona in a 4–0 Serie A loss to Udinese on 23 December 2017.
In January 2020, he agreed a contract extension until 2023 and joined Wisła Kraków on loan.[1]
On 5 October 2020, he joined Serie B club Ascoli on loan.[2]
In February 2021, Tupta's loan in Ascoli ended abruptly after a series of transfers that would have left him sidelined. He was immediately loaned out to Swiss Super League club FC Sion on a half-season loan per wishes of the Sion manager Fabio Grosso.
On 1 September 2022, Tupta signed with Pescara.[3]
Tupta was first recognised in a senior national team nomination when coach Pavel Hapal named him as an alternate forward for a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying double fixture in March 2019 against Hungary and Wales.[4]
