Menalo scored his first career hat-trick on 21 September 2016, in a game against his former club Čapljina. Menalo was voted the best young player of the league in his last two seasons with Široki Brijeg.

In February 2018, Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb announced that Menalo would join them the following season on a five-year contract. He made his competitive debut for the club against Rudeš on 27 July 2018. In January 2019, Menalo was loaned to Slaven Belupo until the end of the 2018–19 season. In July 2019, he was sent on a season-long loan to Slovenian PrvaLiga side Olimpija Ljubljana. Menalo scored a hat-trick in the 2020–21 Croatian Cup win over Ferdinandovac on 26 September 2020, which were his first goals for Dinamo Zagreb. In October 2020, he was sent on a season-long loan to Rijeka. He scored 10 goals in 36 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Persib Bandung

On 2 July 2026, Menalo officially completed a transfer to Indonesian Super League club…

Menalo, an ethnic Croat, represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at under-19 and under-21 level. As he was born in Croatia and is of Croatian descent, he could have represented Croatia, but declined the offers. In January 2018, he received his first senior call-up, for friendly games against the United States and Mexico. Menalo debuted in a goalless draw against the former on 28 January. On 7 September 2021, Menalo scored his first goal for the national team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Kazakhstan, putting Bosnia and Herzegovina 2–1 ahead in an eventual 2–2 draw.
