On 22 July 2022, Alioum joined Hammarby TFF in Sweden's third tier Ettan, the feeder team of Allsvenskan club Hammarby IF, on a six-month loan.[3] He made 11 league appearances for Hammarby TFF, scoring five goals, helping the side to finish 6th in the 2022 Ettan table.[4]

On 30 January 2023, Alioum completed a permanent transfer to Hammarby, being part of their senior squad, signing a four-year contract.[5][6] On 5 March the same year, he made his competitive debut for the club, coming on as a substitute in an 8–0 home win against GIF Sundsvall in Svenska Cupen.[7][8] About a week later, he once again came on as a substitute in a 2–1 win against local rival AIK in the quarter-final of Svenska Cupen.[9]

Loan to Omonia

On 14 September 2023, after suffering from limited playing time, Alioum was sent on a one year-loan to Omonia Nicosia in the Cypriot First Division, with an option to buy.[10] He made his debut just two days later, coming on as a substitute in a goalless draw at AEL Limassol.[11] On 7 October, he scored his first goal for Omonia in a home draw against AEZ Zakakiou.[12] He was named the most valuable player in the Nicosia derby on 16 March 2024.[13] On 10 April, he scored Omonia's third goal in the first leg of the Cypriot Cup semi-finals against Aris Limassol.[14]

On 24 July 2024, Alioum returned to Omonia on another year-long loan with an option to buy.[15] On 25 August, he came off the bench to score a brace in Omonia's 3–0 home win against Ethnikos Achna in the opening game week of the 2024–25 championship.[16]
